About Chiltern seeds: They still use names such as "Musa hookeri" and "Musa ensete".
I don't think they have any control over their banana-species.

From what I have heard, basjoo does produce viable seeds, but only if plants are flowered "Out of sync." because of male and female flowers.

It annoys the hell out of me that basjoo seeds aren't available.
I have a very special reward for the person who can prove he/she has/can produced viable musa basjoo seeds. But I think you need to be in a warm climate or have a giant greenhouse to do it. So if you think you can produce viable/pure basjoo seeds in fair amounts, drop me a PM.
