	Ensete
		The genus Ensete is one of three genera in the Musaceae.
		The genus Ensete was first described by Paul (Paulo or Paulus) Fedorowitsch Horaninow (or Horaninov) (1796 - 1865) in his Prodromus Monographiae Scitaminarum of 1862 in which he created a single species, Ensete edule.
		However, the genus did not receive general recognition until 1947 when it was revived by E. Cheesman in the first of a series of papers in the Kew Bulletin on the classification of the bananas.

	Ensete - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ensete ventricosum - Enset or "false banana", sometimes used in Ethiopian cuisine (particularly Gurage cuisine).
		Ensete glaucum - widespread in Asia from India to Papua New Guinea
		It is Ethiopia's most important root crop, a traditional staple crop in the densely populated south and southwestern parts of Ethiopia.

	Ensete ventricosum
		Ensete ventricosum is a large, fleshy-stemmed plant with a head of banana-like leaves.
		The species name is derived from the Ethiopian name for banana and there are 7 species in the genus, most of which occur in the Old World tropics.
		Ensete ventricosum cannot tolerate heavy frost and in these areas it should be planted under big trees in order to protect it or brought inside for the winter if grown in a pot.

	THE ROLE OF MUSACAE IN ETHIOPIAN AGRICULTURE I. THE GENUS ENSETE
		The genus Ensete, proposed by Horananious in 1862, (Baker and Simmonds, 1953), was further established by Cheesman (1947) as a genus separate from Musa.
		The basic chromosome number in Ensete was reported to be 9 whereas that of Musa was observed to be 9, 10, and 11.
		Ensete gilletii (DeWildeman) Cheesman, is native to West Africa from Sierra Leone to Angola and is ecologically adapted to drier regions.

	Musella
		The plant was first formally named by A. Franchet in 1889 who placed it in the genus Musa, as Musa lasiocarpa, but in a new section he named Musella.
		In 1947 Cheesman examined herbarium material at Kew and on the evidence before him commented that "whatever it may be, it is certainly not a Musa sensu strictiore" and was not therefore prepared to separate the plant from Ensete.
		Other taxonomists consider the the plant to be an anomaly in both Musa and Ensete and in 1978 C. Wu raised Musella to the status of a separate genus.

		A unique species of Ensete from Madagascar, described in 1905 by French botanist Claverie, not only is the Islands only native banana, but also has remained in obscurity and listed as poorly known ever since its discovery.
		Ensete superbum comes from the Western Ghats of India, the great chain of mountains that forms the ramparts of the Decan Plateau.
		However Ensete superum or a very simular species as yet unnamed is found in the North of India and Thailand.

		Ensete is unusually tolerant of floods and droughts, and the fermented food products of ensete can be stored for over a year.
		A comparison between ensete circumference and number of livestock indicates ensete growth is significantly correlated with livestock holdings.
		Many farmers in the Ensete Culture Complex region of Ethiopia are experimenting with chemical fertilizers such as DAP and urea but so far have found chemical fertilizers promote fast structural growth at the expense of edible products.

	Ensete Superbum seeds - UBC Botanical Garden Forums
		I have some Ensete Superbum seeds that I am germinating, I have them in baggies and some are sprouting, I want to know when it is safe for the seedlings to come out of the bags.
		I've not grown ensete before, but based on my experience with this type of banana once the seed had sprouted a solid root (1+ inch long) I removed it from the baggy and planted into a pot with moist soil.
		I understand the Ensete Superbum are much easier to germinate than other types of banana.

		Normally, sweet potatoes, supplemented by haricot beans, cabbage and kocho (made from ensete), are the main subsistence food during the stress period from March/April to June, until the green maize is available for consumption.
		Also, most of the ensete plants are immature and not ready for consumption.
		Signs of distress are becoming evident with people using immature ensete (without milk) for food, with increased sales of fire wood and charcoal and with children coming to urban areas in search of help.

	ENCANTO FARMS
		Then in 1960 N. Simmonds determined that Ensete wilsonii was no different to Ensete glaucum and, with the stroke of the pen, so to speak, the species born Musa wilsonii ceased to exist.
		Very recently Ensete wilsonii was revived as a species distinct from Ensete glaucum by the Flora of China project, first in a short note in 1997 and more formally in volume 24 of the flora published in 2000.
		Ensete ventricosum is potentially a very large plant indeed although it does not reach its full potential under UK conditions, inside or out.

		I have yet to discover a means to overwinter these in situ, so the best way is dig them up, keep the roots and leaves on, bung 'em in the shed and replant them in spring.
		It is superficially similar to Ensete ventricosum but smaller with a much heavier glaucous patina.
		From India, this is a dwarf banana to maybe 2m high, with a very chunky, robust trunk and thick textured foliage - along the lines of ensete leaves - that should prove resistant to wind tearing.

		Musas and Ensetes often will not lose their stem if kept frost free but leaves will wither, I kept an Ensete ventricosum inside last winter and it started to regrow in spring, with older leaves dying back gradually.
		Ensete Maurelli is said to be quite hardy, I know of a grower of tropicals here that kept his in a polytunnel for the first winter and planted it out the next summer to establish, losing it's stem over the next winter but regrowing the following year.

		So when you get Ensete wilsonii, it's very doubtfull that it really is Ensete wilsonii.
		It's more likeley that it's Ensete glaucum, as the high altiutde forms are a lot less common.

		This year, I have ordered ensete seeds from 2 different companies.
		But there must be a reason for my great success the first year with a single batch of seeds and no success this year with multiple batches.
		As for the other banana-seeds, I plant them in empty ice-cream boxes (lid on) filled with humus-rich soil and put them on a heat mat set at 14 hrs of 10-15 degrees C and 10 hrs of 25-35 degrees C. Works like a charm for velutinas, ornatas and sikkimensis.

		These seeds originally came in as the rare Ensete wilsonii, the Snow Banana, however, seed shape and size suggest that the seeds are not Ensete but Musa sp.
		Our collector insists that the seeds were collected at very high altitude in Chinas Yunnan province, where Ensete wilsonii usually grows up to 2700m (9000ft).
