Here are a few Photo's of a banana plant i have bought for a Ensete glaucum seedling. But when it starts to grow, i have seen that it was something entirely differently.
Do someone know his real name?

Well, it's definitely NOT an ensete. I'm no expert, but I'll give you a random guess....bordelon? Let's wait for the experts to chime in on this.

It may be Musa sikkimensis. I think the reddish coloration tends to fade as the leaves get older.

The plant in the left on the first Photo is a Musa sikkemensis an there are many differences between this 2 plants( color of the stem, pups, size and color of the leaves , growth speed)
