Young shoots and a flowering part are eaten as a vegetable. The plant is used in religious and domestic celebrations. [3] It is easy to raise from seed. It is an extremely fast growing banana given heat, but not as hardy as the Abyssinian Banana (Ensete ventricosum), and is not as well known. [citation needed]
