Where can I find info about this tree?

Google doesn't know much about it.

I got 1,430 hits on Google, many from Europe, so it's not all that
obscure. There's a detailed article (but in German) at
http://www.pflanzen.onlinehome.de/ex...nenstaude.htm.
Sunset's Western Garden Book also lists it. It's also called
"Abyssinian Banana" in the nursery trade, and some know it as Ensete
ventricosum; and it's a perennial, not a tree: it's not woody. There
are 5-footers, and there are tree-sized ones. All are dramatic
specimen plants; many have colorful foliage. But you need a greenhouse
or thoroughly frost-proof outdoor site protected from wind; they're
unhappy below about 10C (50F), and wind will shred their leaves.
