Over 20 are floaters ...do you think its still worth sowing them ?

I see Erland sow some in the banana video so I guess its ok.
Yes, definately plant the floaters. When planting palms, they allways tell you to discard floaters because rotting palm-seeds are more or less hollow inside. Forget this rule for musa!

Because of the banana-seeds' "eyes", gas sometimes gets trapped here and gives them buoyancy.

In my experience, these seeds often sink within a few days.

Good luck with germinating!
