Propagating Ensete Bananas

Ensetes are difficult to propagate as they don’t set seed in the UK and don’t produce suckers. Steve Edney introduced this method on the monstrosity formerly known as Twitter some while ago and I decided to give it a try as it seemed to produce more offspring more reliably and less awkwardly than my previous method.

Once a teacher, always a teacher so I have made a rather dry and factual instructional video (it’s only just over 2 minutes long so you might just be able to stay awake). Although I have tried to stay true to Steve’s methods I have made a few tweaks. I hope he approves!
