Hello everyone,

I am looking for a good source of Ensete ventricosum plug plants here in UK. Not the 'Maurelii' type.

Can anybody help?

Thanks.

Re: Impatient nana grower..advice please

While waiting, do I water and feed? Or, just wait until new leaves develop, then start water/feed? Thanks.

Possibly a marrow courgette plant. Is the forming fruit longish or roundish?

If it's longish it's a courgette.
