I love its colors.
The brute's magnificent Jim.
Good idea staking it to a steel post.
With the soft trunk, another idea for a tiedown = old pantyhose.

Thanks peep's
I think in the 15-18' area is totally reasonable.
I like the color too,also that it already looks like a tropical plant.
The other nanars are getting there though! 😀

That guy is sick man!!! The fence stake is a excellent idea, I wish I thought about it last year before mine fell over.
Your black bamboo in the background is really off to a nice start this year.
Looking good buddy!
15 feet easy by the way.

Mike,
the Ensete was kept in my garage for the winter.......just too long of a period I guess. It's alive and regrowing again.

It's alive? Wow I would have thought it was a goner by that pic.
