is that helen's hybrid from rarepalmseeds.com ? How easy were they to germinate?
Jeff, very easy to germinate. And the most vigourous seedlings I have ever encountered. Each seed sent out 2 or more stems. A plant that was a seedling this April is now taller than basjoos that were one foot in April. But stems are skinnier. All in all a very handsome musa with red leaf-undersides, dark stems, dark green leaves, and powdery petioles. Here is a pic of my south-wall, but I am standing right in the way of the meter-tall Helens.
