Young Banana Plant
Thanks to those who helped identify this as a banana plant and not a type of ginger as I had thought. Definitely a young plant as I was able to capture this phot at eye level or lower for me!
The banana plant is a pseudostem that grows to 6 to 7.6 metres (20–25 feet) tall, growing from a corm. Leaves are spirally arranged and may grow 2.7 metres (9 ft) long and 60 cm (2 ft) wide. The banana plant is the largest of all herbaceous flowering plants. The large leaves grow whole, but are easily torn by the wind, resulting in the familiar frond look.
