    Not certain it is though as leaves are not looking or turning the same, this is my first banana purchase, she's waiting patiently to be potted on and acclimatised grown a lot already since we got it. Any chance of a id, thanks

    The name you have there is a combination of two different plants.
    Ensete ventricosum, is not Musa.

    Can only guess at your plant, and agree atm it doesn't look like Ensete more like Musa basjoo perhaps.

    Will be easier to tell once it is hardened off and growing well.
    Both need similar treatment at this time of the year.

      Ah I see. Haha that's why googling shows up just the red variety, thanks for reply. Keeping it for a few more weeks indoors,
