Beautiful colour. My fave exotic.
Re: a great month for ensete
Great shot
My Ensete only 8inches high, maybe I'll take a picture...Then again, maybe not it would probably curl up and die

Nice picture. Has been a very good time for mine, thrown up three of the biggest paddles I've seen so far, and shot up to near on 7ft.........undamaged!
Re: a great month for ensete
aren't we lucky these can be snapped up for about £5 this time of year for a reasonable size plant. it only takes one more summer for a large specimen.
i bought this about 14months ago as a small plant and overwintered using the dry storage method.
if it gets through this winter in the same way, it'll be huge next year.

Re: a great month for ensete
This is mine today and is a 3rd season plant. The Pergola is 8ft (2.4m) tall, so the Ensete is around 10ft 3m tall.
Best regards
