No red at all on any of mine including the one I purchased on EBAY, should they have red?

I'm at 50% as of today a 5th seed has germinated, what to do with all the Ensete Ventricosum. I guess I need to take an adoption add out as I cannot plant and dig up in the fall 5 more Ventricosum as it is I am already digging up 6 large nanners some weighing over 200lb's. Any suggestions for what to do, as I think I need a Ensete Glaucum or Ensete Superbum as they might make it thru a zone 7b winter.
