Default Re: Musa Green Ensete Ventricosum

Nice specimen, thanks for sharing. However, it is actually not a Musa at all, but just Ensete ventricosum. It will only make "suckers" (they are not suckers in the true sense) if forced to by cutting it down and then cutting through the meristem before it flowers.
