Ensete Superbum (W.India)
This one should be in a kit for kiddies to try and grow nanners from seed (as Mrbungalow would say).
I put them in cocco peat(cocconut fiber), and perlite in a zip lock baggie, and put it slightly elevated off my water heater, and days later some are already starting to sprout. This one is alot easier than the one from Thailand reffered to as the "rock banana". They are probally two different species.
This one and the two other Ensetes(glaucum, ventricosum) always seem to be consistant sprouters.
