Yes. They germinate readily, and grow fairly easily in a warm,
sunny place. They are thoroughly unexciting, unfortunately.
The mature plant looks like a gigantic brussel sprout, and I
doubt that they would crop even in your polytunnel.

I don't think we'd hope for a crop though we do have an Ensete
lasiocarpum fruiting at present! And we've had one or two bunches of
bananas that never came to much. I think he was just interested to
know whether they'd come up at all but your description does make them
sound extremely dull. I'll pass that on. Thank you!
