On a walk through Telegraph Hill /Filbert Steps I saw some wonderful garden plants. Is this some sort of banana?

Correct Calif.........

Here is the stem on mine at the moment...massive leaves.

to ATP @kate007!

I have had mine since 2005, the photo below was taken in 2007. I will be repotting it the winter as the soil needs refreshing.
