Thanks Jack, always punctual

I know the plant is from Ethiopia, because I have been to Ethiopia and all of my life centers on Ethiopia for various deep reasons. However what you say about hardiness is surprising to me because Ethiopia can experience some low temp in many areas, since the whole plateau is between 2500 to 3500 m of height. In Addis Ababa where you saw lot of Ensete night temps usually reach 2-3 degrees celsius regularly in some months, also if of course is frost-free (but the record min is 0).

Apart from this in my next journey I will search for edible bananas growing in super-high places like the Semien or so, where temps can get very cool...

Thanks again, good night
