Default Re: Musa velutina seeds wanted

I have lots of M. velutina seed I grew a few years ago, and I would be happy to send you some.

If your goal is to create a triploid M. velutina (2n x 4n cross), it's possible but the resulting plants will not make edible fruit as you also need parthenocarpy genes in the mix, and those come from edible cultivars.
