Red Abyssinian Banana Plant - Live Plant in 4'' Pot

Description: Red Abyssinian Banana Plant, COLD SENSITIVE. DO NOT ORDER IF YOUR TEMPS ARE COLD We have long been amazed by Ensete maurelii, an outstanding ornamental banana from the high mountains of East Africa. Growing to only 10 ft. tall in temperate climates (20 ft. tall in tropical areas), Ensete maurelii makes a superb ornamental for the summer border. Each leaf can reach gigantic proportions of 10 ft. L. The most ornamental characteristic is that the foliage is flushed with burgundy, especially concentrated as the new growth emerges. The higher the light levels, the stronger the coloration. We have also seen Ensete maurelii used in large summer containers with great effect. All ensetes are non-offsetting monocarpic plants. they die after they flower. If you've ever seen the magnificent flower, it's well worth the loss. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.Fantastic tropical plant can be the centerpiece of your landscaping effort, this popular banana provides striking red coloration on green leaves making a nice backdrop for other tropicalsEnsete maurelii is often referred to as the Ethiopian banana, grown mainly as foliage plants, ensete is a reasonably frost resistant perennial growing 10 ft. to 20 ft.
