I'm sure the corms are edible, but probably can't compare to the bananas from a fruiting type of banana.
They are more cold tolerant than most fruiting banana plants. After a couple of years, they produce a huge purple flower and then the whole plant dies and falls over.
Unlike fruiting banana plants ensete types don't sucker, so you'll have to buy a new plant and start over again.
They are very colorful, but if you want a colorful banana plant, try a Cuban/Jamaican (same thing) banana. Great deep red color plant and tasty dark red skinned fruit.
