Hi Carlos,

I bought seed identified as Musa sp. nov from Sunshine seed, a German supplier. It took over a year for a handful to germinate. How low did your temp drop to?

I'm on the UK south coast and was hoping they might be a candidate to grow outside. My seedlings have a nice red midrib. Have others found the same?

Lamentably, I haven't visited this site in ages. I had some musa fatalities and it was just too painful reading about all you brilliant growers. Must visit more.
