Default A new obsession

Greetings

This is my first post to this forum. I am somewhat new to the world of bananas, having bought my first Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' last year. Having successfully brought it through a Calgary winter (zone 3) in my bathroom, it is now suffering - looks more like the Leaning Tower of Pisa than the majestic specimen it has been for the last year. He's a Monrovia specimen of quite a size, still in his original 12.4 gallon pot.

This is somewhat embarassing as I am a professional gardener. I feel I ought to be doing a better job.

I shall be scouring the archives for cultural information and advice on how to care for/rejeuvenate my "nana". Onced I figure out how to post photos I will introduce him.

Regards

Gailey

Those Ensete ventricosums are tough to over winter inside without them getting bendy, so don't feel bad.

He's sicker by the day I'm afraid. I'll post an update on "Species Bananas" later on today. Thanks for your note Gardener!
