Ed,
From the web: "Wild ensete plants are produced from seeds, while most domesticated plants are propagated from suckers. Up to 400 suckers can be produced from just one mother plant....Each plant takes four to five years to mature....After flowering/blooming, the plant dies.....The flowers, which only occur once from the center of the plant at the end of that plant's life, are in massive pendant thyrses covered by large pink bracts. The fruits are inedible and have hard, black, rounded seeds."......
