Success 10 Musa varities planted - 2 plants emerging so far
Four weeks ago I planted 10 banana varities in small plastic cups, three seeds per cup and placed them in a rubbermaid rack system on the back deck. I soaked the Zebrina seeds overnight but all others were directly sown. I'll document thier growth and the future seed success, cause its fun and hopefully there is interest here.
I currently have 2 Ensete Ventricosum Abysiaian shoots, one about 3 inches and another just emerging. Varities planted (spelling =) Ensete Ventricosum Abysiaian Ensete SNow Banana Musa Sikimensis Red Tiger Musa Helen's Hybrid Musa Darjeeling Giant Musa Paradisiace Musa Sikkimensis Red Flash Ensete Kluay Pa Musa Yunnanensis Musa Zebrina Pics as of 10.13.09 |

Re: Success 10 Musa varities planted - 2 plants emerging so far
Had a PM with questions about seed vendor.
I bought the seeds from the ebayer seller Georgia Vines. Pretty cheap and she had combined shipping. all seeds seemed healthy and ready to rock. |

Re: Success 10 Musa varities planted - 2 plants emerging so far
Congrats southern!
Reading your success makes me feel better, as I have sown 20 seeds, half of them a month ago, the half two weeks ago, and have yet to see a single one sprout. For someone use to sowing tomato and other veggie seeds and seeing them germinate in 3-10 days, trying to get bananas to germinate is really trying! Mike |
