Right now its Ensete tandarra Red for me! Im hoping that when my Saba and ice cream banana go in the ground they will become the new favs, but right now its Ensete hands down!
Their growth rate and color is so nice that it makes up for the fact that once it flowers (and doesnt even make bananas), it will die forever and never sent up a baby unless damaged in such a way to force new pups.
Come to think of it, anyone ever think that Ensete doesnt really have a lot of banana plant qualities. I think there has been debates about if they are truly banana plants or only close relatives?
