It is a banana plant - actually not a tree. They grow quickly and in about 18 months will produce a single bunch of bananas, the die back with new growth coming up around the base.

Yes, it does look more like a very large plant than it does a tree.
So it grew that tall in one season? Pretty fast. Someone has to do a time lapse of that.
It didn't grow that big. It was just planted this Spring, don't know why they would go through the trouble planting something that big just to see it die come Winter.
