You have a rojo red or commonly called blood banana right there. They grow very fast I live in Nebraska and mine grew 5 ft in the summer and 2ft under grow lights in the winter.

It's an ornamental and doesn't produce edible fruit. It's also not very cold hardy. But it looks great.

Thanks for the info, Cali... I spent quite a bit of time researching it last night once I knew what to look for... It caught my eye due to the red in the leaves, but all the tag at the nursery said was "Banana Plant"... And, although I've seen someone here produce actual fruit from a plant here in Knoxville, I bought it for ornamental purposes...

Thanks, amante... From all of the pictures I can find, Zebrina seems to be the same as the Rojo... Are there differences???
