Which Musa looks like this?

16 years ago

I saw a photo of a Musa (can't remember where!) that has large green leaves, and the midvein is a bright red. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I don't think it is an uncommon variety but can't remember what it is, or where I saw the photo. I'm not sure but I seem to remember that the leaves hold up to wind?

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Sounds like Ensete ventricosum to me. Several other bananas/banana like plants have red midribs also, but ventricosum is the largest and probably most wind resistant. That's my two cents.
