I'm with Michael...I'd try some TC (tissue cultured) plants to start with. You'll have much better results than with germination (bananas aren't exactly the easiest of seeds to germinate...far from it). As far as when to start...as soon as possible! There are pictures in my gallery with approximate time periods of growth since I've had them just to give you some ideas on growth rates. If you want plants to sell that might fruit within a summer, plan to begin with at LEAST 1 year old plants (which will be quite large FYI).
