Re: Musa Green Ensete Ventricosum
It's pretty cool how Gabe said they make "suckers" or propagate it. Search YouTube for ensente propagation. Pretty much cut up the corm by quartering it and it grows into lots of new small plants.
Gabe have you or anyone else reading this ever eaten the ensete corm? I know it is a staple in parts of Africa. I think they grind it into a flour or something. Any taste report?
Cool fact: I've also read a full grown ensete corm can store dry without water for upto 8 years!! Then when the rain comes it starts growing again. Amazing. Should be no problem storing one dry over winter.
