Where did you get it from?!!

Have been after one for ages! Honestly, I’ve been scouring all the garden centres near me, with only finding a ensete type. Admittedly yes there are quite a few online, ranging from £9.99 to £100 depending on size but I’m not sure of buying online as I may end up with a stick.

The nearest I have got to getting one is the afore mention ensete banana type, at a garden centre but they aren’t as hardy as the Musa’s. They are some on Garden Valley Plants online which has very good reviews, decent size & price. Again, I just don’t know what I could end up with if I buy online as some online retailers mentioned they chop the leaves off before delivering, I know they’ll grow back, it’s just I don’t really want to be looking at a stick & you can’t tell how healthy the plant is!

I have one. You need to make friends with someone who already has one so they can give you one of the offshoots (that's how I got mine). If you're in north London let me know ...

I would get one from gardening express, once you have one they make loads of babies Smile

Thanks everyone - I managed to get one from Dobbies yesterday! Yay!

I’ve planted it & it looks right at home, I just hope it flourishes, as admittedly it’s probably not the best spot in the garden (not the sunniest, but will be sheltered from wind) although will get sun on sunnier days.
