Re: The correct hardiness of Musa basjoo

The Denver Botanic Gardens (zone 6) has M. basjoo that come back every year with just a covering of mulch, so yes, I've seen it work and it can indeed live up to it's reputation in some environments.

Re: ensete maurelii red-creating pups

By then, it would be too late because the meristem would have moved away from the bottom of the plant and be located in the inflorescence at that point. The point is to damage the meristem.
