Default Re: pollination of wild species

Hello,

and thanks a lot for the detailed description.

There exists a book about exotic plants in germany. The author wrote, that germinable seeds can only be produced by blooming Musa basjoos that aren't at the same rhizome.
I myself wondered about this conclusion.
Maybe that two flowerbuds at the same rhizome bloom at the same time and so the overlapping moment of the female and male flower is too short.
I will write the author a mail and ask him.
If he answers I will tell you.

Has anyone ever harvested germinable Basjooseeds?
In germany it doesn't work, because our summers aren't long enough and the fruits don't ripen.
@ Bigdog: please tell us if your pollination worked.

Greetings
Dombo
