I have never heard about it not working within the same mat either...and I hope that's wrong! There are two clumps of Musa basjoo down at the UT Gardens here in Knoxville, and one mat has four pseudostems blooming right now. I pollinated two hands of female flowers today, on two different buds. And I used pollen from another bud in the same mat, so hopefully it will take. It would just be fun to get some Musa basjoo seeds from a mat in zone 7a!
