Red banana identification
Im looking for the name of these beautiful red Bananas. I'm looking for the most colorful banana i can put in my landscape. I like these as they are the most red, assuming they are the same. I'm finding a bunch of different names when searching to buy one.
Also do they turn this color during a time of year or are they always these shades? Are the root systems invasive towards irrigation? At a local Lowes i saw one that was green with some red on the stem of the leaf. The name on the barcode was Banana Ensete Red Mnrv. Could this be what im looking for? Thanks |

Re: Red banana identification
I think the first photo is the Red Abyssinian Banana (Ensete Ventricosum) and the 3rd is a different sub-variety of the Ensete Ventricosum. ... I'm not sure of the 2nd photo, but it may be another Ensete Ventricosum too.
There are many different red type of ornamental bananas. Try searching on the Monrovia website for 'red bananas'. https://www.monrovia.com/plant-catal...leaved-banana/ |

Those are awesome choices for color in your landscape. You should have no issues with an irrigation system and roots. |

Re: Red banana identification
Ok I answered my own question. The maurelii will not pup it is an Ensete. The Siam Ruby will pup it is a Musa.
The Ensete can be propagated by cutting the base of an actively growing, not dying, P-stem close to the ground. Then cut a one inch grid pattern in the base. Left alone with good growing conditions, warm and moist but not wet, each grid will produce a new plant. That us what my research showed. Now to get some and try it out!

Re: Red banana identification
Thanks HMelendez
I pop in occasionally. LOL Not as much as I want! I'm growing blueberries, pomegranates, grapes, muscadines, citrus, blackberries, plums, avocados, figs, persimmons, loquats, pawpaws, raspberries, AND BANANAS both edible and ornamental so I get pulled nine different directions every day. I have shifted my banana direction to some short cycle types. I have one I received from Dr. Greg Fonsah that he has successfully grown in Tifton Georgia at the University of Georgia trial fields. I observed it for several years there and it fruited every year. I have it in ground now and will trial it here for several years and see if it duplicates the Georgia production. It is not commercially available right now. If it does well I'll report on it.
