Quick update. UKOasis have directed me to Bananas.org - the
real
experts I'm told. I've been given lots of suggestions about which type of Musa my
plant
might be, but the concensus now seems to be that the plant is too young to identify. I've also been told that I was unwise to remove all the leaves apart from the growing tip (although I had read in a gardening magazine that this is what some experts do). I'm more confused than ever now. :-\

;D Hi Geogie I tried to register on that banana site but it doesn't accept any of my emails so I gave up as I was going to respond to the guy from Norway that that said "I deserve a good onion up the nose!" ??? ::) I may call on you to post my response if you will please. or guide me through the email procedure via a PM ;)
I do like onions but only in my mouth ;D

Hi Roy, yes, they seem to have some quaint sayings in Norway, at least this guy does! ??? Did you try to join the site via the link in ukoasis? That's how I joined and I don't recall having any difficulty. I suggest you try again and if that doesn't work, PM your reply and I'll happily relay it for you. :)

;D Hello again Georgie, yes I got in this time, the reason I think I didn't before was that I missed the 'R' out of your name when they asked who referred me to the site ::) :P just like I have on the post above :-[ ;D

Oh, I've been called mush worse, believe me. ;D ;)
Glad you made it to the banana site and LOL at your posting. But what a shame you had to sell your plant, is was superb. :'(

It was a superb specimen but so heavy to haul in during winter and occupied too much of the garden, I managed to get hold of seeds of Ensete venricosum but could not get one to germinate and they look quite handsome as small plants too. :'( ;D

What a brilliant looking 'Nana :D. I'm most envious. Would love to be able to grow exotics, but no room or greenhouse :(
Also Roy like that web site, have been wanting to try and find an ID to a plant we used to grow when we were in Africa. I shall give it a go. It used to be called "Yesterday, today and tomorrow" !!
