Re: Red banana
They are Ensete Maurelii, are just ornamental, and do not make edible fruit. They will not make pups,and will only grow the single trunk. After a few years, they will bloom, die and set seeds, and if you want more identical to these, you will have to repurchase them as the seeds do not come true, because Ensete Maurelii was selected for its unusually bright colors from the plain green species. The normal species is not this colorful, and the seedlings will not look the same as your plants, probably being more green, or a mixture. Ensete are very pretty plants when they get large, I grow several of them, staggering the purchase dates so if I lose one to flowering, I will still have other large plants, while I purchase new ones. They are not too expensive when buying as Tissue culture plants, and grow very fast.
