Well in the UK some plants need a lot of loving:waving:, mine move from garden to a spare room upstairs in my home, they are now slowly migrating towards the garden.....Ive lost only one musa but when I am given this sight I know summer is coming and they have made it for another year!

I believe it's a Musa itinerants form India, originally from jmoore.
I lost my sikkimansis red tiger sadly this winter....unless I have the two mixed up!!

I also have a basjoo which I think might be mislabelled due to a very thin leaf,
Ensete ventricosum maurelii x2
Ensete snow banana x2 one with a red strip other green down the midrib
Mulit lasiocarba...many of them....pups like crazy!!
A few dwarf cavendish
And lastly a few garden centre nanas that grow less than a foot high but also pup well.Not a clue what they are.

You have a nice collection there. The bananas that are only growing a foot high for you, will most likely be Cavendish variety.
