Yeah!!! I bought it. It's bigger than I thought. I measured the pstem,just for kicks. It's 25" around and over six ft tall. Card says red leaved. In hard to read small print it says Ensete Ventricosum Maurelii. It took contacts and a magnifier to read this. Card also reads 12 to 15 foot psuedo trunk. I didn't see this til now. Hope this can be cut and stored for the winter. Is it possible?
Anyone know??????? I just repotted it. I will post some pics tomorrow when I can put it back outside. Thanks guys for encouraging this wacko!
