Hi,

i wonder if the seeds of Musa hirta, bauensis, schizocarpa, textilis, peekelii and other species from PNG and Borneo do stay viable how long. How long the bananas seeds will stay viable?? I got seeds from these species from Rarepalmseeds, Sunshine Seeds and Sementes, none germinated and one was labeled as Musa schizocarpa and the seedlings are probably Musa velutina, they have already flowered and set fruits. I want new fresh and very recently harvested seeds from these species, but how to get them, but I want not get scammed.

Best wishes
Joachim
