Ensete Maurelii - Red Abyssinian Banana

Description

Ensete maurelii is a fast-growing banana plant, with an upright growth habit often reaching up to 12’ – 20’ feet tall. When provided ideal growing season conditions, it may get larger. It can be kept to about 5 feet tall in a pot. 

It's indigenous to East Africa and resembles plants commonly associated with the musa genus. The plant has green leaves with red highlights which will sometimes nearly cover the entire leaf. Leaves can reach 10' long, but typically will be in the 2-3' range, less in a pot.

Ensete's dramatic look will be the centerpiece of any tropical landscape.

Current stock is 24 inches + tall and is shipped bare root in a sealed plastic bag in a USPS tube. Please note, this product will be shipped with lower foliage removed to facilitate safe and secure shipping. Leaf removal will not damage the plant or effect it in any way.

Be prepared, on receipt, to transplant this item within 12-24 hours. If planting into a container, have at least a 2 gallon for short term transplant and a 5 gallon or larger container for long term transplant. In-ground transplant should be done after last frost in your local area. Use a peat/perlite mix for potted transplant and soil amendment for in-ground. In both cases, water thoroughly. After transplant, keep in indirect sunlight for 3-4 days and slowly introduce to full sunlight over another 3-4 day period. 

Cultivation

Ensete maurelii is fast growing and will do best in zones 10-11.
