| Red
Abyssinian is the most beautiful banana
by Norman Winter |
|
It
seems the gardening public has finally discovered the most
beautiful banana in the world, the Red Abyssinian. This
banana is not the least bit cold-hardy, but who cares when
it grows like a rocket and makes a landscape statement from
spring until the first frost in the fall?
The Red Abyssinian is known botanically as Ensete ventricosum
Maurelii. Most of the bananas we grow are of the genus
Musa.
On a recent journey though South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama,
I saw these bananas popping up at shopping centers and public
buildings everywhere. They are even at some of our malls
right now.
The most unbelievable display I have ever seen using the
bananas was at First Baptist Church in Magee last summer.
The banana plants were huge, including the trunk. I took
off my size 10 shoe and placed it in front of the trunk
of the plant. I was astounded at how small the shoe appeared.

If
you just can't see yourself buying a banana that is not
cold-hardy, you could do what I do. I grow mine in a container
and put it in the garage once cold weather arrives. You
could also choose another, more cold-hardy species like
the Chinese Yellow Wax banana.
The Chinese Yellow Wax banana is known as Musella lasciocarpa
and was believed to be extinct until just a few years ago.
Now they, too, are popping up at garden centers and in landscapes
everywhere. This banana is cold-hardy through zone 7 and
has a lot to offer the tropical gardener.
