Default Musa basjoo

I know I'll have eyes rolling at the title of this but;

I'm new just joined primarily because I'm interested in bananas, but also because I have recently made a discovery.

Im an assistant gardener at a botanic gardens in the UK, and in the unheated conservatory, there are 5 stands of Musa basjoo growing, and they have been there a while.. 20 years or more.

I was maintaining the conservatory when I took a close look at the bananas themselves, and discovered they had viable seed in them. So I've sown 100 Musa basjoo seed and it will be very impressive if they germinate.

I realise finding a seeding Musa basjoo is a rarity outside of its natural habitat due to the preferred method of vegetative production of Musa basjoo for the commercial horticulture industry.

Anyway.. I've documented it.. I'll try to attach photos soon.
