Musa Velutina seed mystery
Many times I tried to germinate M. Velutina seeds and was consistently unsuccessful. I am an experienced gardener who rarely has a complete failure like I did with these. I shared the seeds with other experienced gardeners and they too failed after trying a number of different methods. The winter of 13/14/ was the coldest winter in history here with a number of days below freezing. This spring hundreds of baby velutinas popped up in the mulch under the mother plants. We have never had little ones before and several others in my community have mentioned the same phenomena in their gardens.
Could it have been the cold?
In any case, they have made great little plants for various plant sales and presentations.
