Default Re: Pollinating banana plants?!?! Is this true!?

You can't pollinate a banana plant!

You can pollinate the flowers and then produce seeds of seed-bearing banana plants; however, some don't produce seeds (edible varieties...) and therefore pollination would be a waste of your time. You can pollinate by dusting the "stuff" on to the flowers when your banana plant blooms if it is one of the aforementioned seeding types, or even just take your finger and wipe it on the stigma(correct term?). Hope this helps...I will add more later if needed.

Oh, and welcome!
