Perhaps I'm mistaken but it's pretty common that the seeds will go on to make seeded fruit, correct?

My interest is in developing new variegated varieties and being seeded or seedless isn't a concern but if you're interested in that I would recommend to start by reading about the banana cultivars you grow in your yard. Start with ones that were produced by seed with the SH-3393 being the pollen source. A lot of the information about the projects is readily available online, number of plants pollinated, number of seeds produced, germination rates, and the number of new seedless varieties developed.
