Ensete superbum?

island cassie · 07-03-2008, 08:40 PM

Perhaps this should be in the Tiki Hut, but last night I was at a Thai restaurant up in the hills, and while I was casing the grounds in my usual way, amongst other nanas I saw a number of plants that looked very like ensete superbum. When I questioned Rosie the Thai cook, she said that the owner had brought them from Thailand, and she would ask if I could have a plant!!!! Naturally I didn't have my camera with me and will have to go back for my plant hopefully, and photographs. Now my question is - how likely is it that they are e superbum from Thailand, and is there anything else that they are more likely to be? I know, I know - without photos it is impossible to say, but what do you all think? hey! hey! Not that I'm excited or anything!

Cassie,
Haven't you ever heard of Ensete superbum "Thailand Rock"?

Mark Hall · 07-04-2008, 08:08 AM

Cassie, There are some pictures of Superbums about 5 posts in on this thread.

Do they look the same??

I may have to keep an eye out for your Thai resturant when I visit

No I hadn't Taylor and never seen one in the flesh (or should that be leaf?) before. Mark - they look very like Dave Brown's pictures from Singapore botanical gardens and are not huge plants - get in touch when you are here and we'll take you there!

Yep - I need to get back up into the hills (in daylight this time) with my camera! And to collect my promised plant! They are smallish and very different looking.
