Looks Like Ensete ventricosum possibly E. v. Maurelii'.  If so with sun it will color up and get large (maybe huge) Could be another Ensete because of lack of red leaf color so far.  Also in the 1st pic the tallest leaf looks like it may have some variegation with the backlighting shining through the leaf but a lot of plants do that and do not ever develop proper variegation.

Thank you it is possible what you say it is the seeds where black, and the person who gave it to me was into all that sort of stuff, and also the property it would have come from was an hippie commune, so there would have been some intriguing plants on that property. But for now I will take your information and put that to good use. Thank you

You probably already know this but I will post here for others. If the plant came from seed then it is not the tissue culture form of E. v. Maurelii' that is distributed here in the U.S.. so may or may not get to the tissue culture level of color.  Ensete can be propagated by seed of course and by tissue culture (the popular form of propagation for these) but also when the plant is larger the trunk can be cut off just above the ground level and then the central growing point can be destroyed. Then the plant will produce small plantlets on the corm.  It is the way E. v. Maurelii' was propagated before tissue culture became widespread. This is not the same as musa species producing shoots off the corm.
