Re: M. Basjoo seeds
I agree with Frank, Ive never heard of any wild Musa not being able to self pollinate. Many banana species (like many plant species) require specific germinating conditions, and the whole reason we have the entire subforum on germination is because banana seeds in general are notoriously hard to germinate, so just because none germinated it does not mean they are not viable. This is an easy case to solve though, if you ever come across basjoo seed you believe to be inviable, crack a few open and see if they have embryos. The only banana seeds I have found to not consistently form embryos have been a few interspecific hybrids (though they generally still cross easily) and edible/wild hybrids.
