Nice! Keep us updated as to how they grow. If anyone else wants some seeds, PM me your postal address. They are from wild banana plants in the forest, probably some subspecies of Musa acuminata. The climate here is hot and humid, 90% humidity, daily temperature 25-33C. The bananas grow in full sun (which is hot as it is near the equator) or partial shade, but they grow best in full sun.
