Snow Banana - Available in packets of 10, 20 or 50 seeds.

Fresh 2024 seed

Ensete glaucum is a larger version of the Abyssinian Banana although not so well known. It grows in China, Nepal, India, Burma and Thailand and is happy at altitudes up to around 2700m.  It has a thick, waxy and blue, solitary trunk with huge bluish leaves up to 3m long. An extremely fast growing banana given heat, but not as hardy as the Abyssinian Banana. Easy to raise from seed and very different with its swollen bulbous base and large leaves.  Must be overwintered frost free.
