I have had 1 of 100 sprout. The seeds are very thick shelled, and very stubborn to germinate. The one sprouted after a few weeks in my unheated garage on a heat mat set on "on" for 24 hours a day(after being in the fridge for 2 months). I'll bet there was some temp flutuation in the garage because of the natural day/night temp fluctuations. I didn't have much experience at that point, and would chaulk that success up to luck.
These seeds are probally considered the toughest banana seed to sprout.
Most of the plants here in the US(maybe in Europe too?) are from a single tissue cultured plant, so not much genetic diversity here. It'd be cool to get some new forms from growing some from seed. Good luck with your endevour!
