I take it these are suitable for the UK climate, i am just seeing snap i got one but what do they require in terms of growing apart from the obvious water. I won't search the internet for info with it mainly being wrong!

Re: FINALLY :) got my hands on Ensete Hiniba :):):)
I think the main difference between 'Montbeliardii'/Hiniba and ventricosum/Maurelii is the height when young. This means keeping growing over winter, is not as viable an option for 'Montbeliardii'/Hiniba unless you have very high ceilings
