I was able to pollinate an entire hand with the Musa velutina pollen I had left. Hope it takes...and hope the summer is nice and LONG so the bananas have time to ripen! I think they just might. The gardens doesn't usually see frost until November.
It is quite possible to cross Eumusa with Rhodochlamys. M. balbisiana will accept M. velutina pollen and produce fertile seeds. Hopefully M. basjoo will also!
