Got this at a local Hy-Vee store, it has 2 tags. I think it's ROJO but not sure, I know a lot of plants are missmarked. For $7.00 I thought I'd take a chance, like I need another plant to winter over.

Couldn't help myself, went back and got this one. It has one tag, don't know if it's right or not. Red Abyssinian.

First one is a Musa zebrina “rojo”

Second one is correctly labeled as a Ensete Red Abyssinian” it is not a Musa and will not make fruit. It makes a flower and seeds! It also does not produce pups/offshoots like a Musa does. Very pretty plants and they do get big!

Yes, I think it's called a False Banana. They say the seeds are easy to geminate, we'll see. And it doe's sound like they get big.

I'm no expert, but that's a dead ringer for my Rojo.
