Default Re: Seed of Seedless banana?

What inkcube says is true and is very nicely written, but there are however many different edible bananas that are female fertile, male fertile, or sometimes both. The reasons for sterility are not limited to just one factor, often it can be a combination of different characteristics that will produce a certain level of sterility. Sterility is on a spectrum, meaning that a plant isn't necessarily either just completely fertile or completely sterile, but rather is often somewhere between these two extremes.
