I'm getting a African Red from, Steve. Does anybody know how hardy these are? There is not much info in Wiki.

Thanks, Harvey, I guess I'll have to bring it inside the house as I have no greenhouse.

I'm not positive but, I think you're talking about the one I bought today. It is called red leaved it's from Ethiopia. The mininum temp is 30 to 40 degrees.
Suited for zone 10 & 11. Botanical name is Ensete Ventricosum Maurelii. I got this info from the card that came with mine. If you google this you can read a lot more and see pictures. I hope this is what you're looking for. Good Luck!

Raggedy,

Thanks, but, this is a Musa not an Ensete.
