Re: Looking for info on Musa Virupakshi
There are a couple of common seeded bananas that aren't bad tasting, but don't really lend themselves to a food source compared to edible bananas. There is a very big and significant difference between edible and seeded bananas. Seeded bananas are not like what you would imagine if an edible bananas had seeds throughout. Seeded bananas are much smaller overall, and generally have only a very small amount of edible pulp.
If you really want to experience a seeded banana, I would recommend Musa velutina/dasycarpa, its very common, will be relatively quick to flower, will definitely set seed and is fairly sweet.
