Banana Seed Germination Forum As one of the toughest seeds in the plant kingdom to figure out the keys to germination success with, this is a forum with banana seed germination tips. Please entitle posts like "Musa balbisiana," or "Musa cheesmani," etc. People would then post a reply under that heading, sharing their germination successes (and failures), what materials and methods they used, germination percentage, etc.

Default Ensete Ventricosum Seeds

Does anyone know how long the bananas need to be on the Ensete before the seeds can be harvested?

Default Re: Ensete Ventricosum Seeds

Allow unblemished fruit to ripen; clean and dry seeds
Unblemished fruit must be significantly overripe before harvesting seed; clean and dry seeds
Seed does not store well; sow as soon as possible

This is my first year with Ensete...the pups I had last year didn't overwinter, so I bought more mature plants. I copied and pasted that information.

Thanks for the reply. I guess by overripe they mean it changes color? The bananas have been on the plant for about 5 or so months, still green and firm.
