Hello everyone, congratulations and thanks for this page. I guess Im just another Banana lover. I've been growing them since 2008. It has been pretty cool to have them. I started with one which I received as a present. Didnt know what kind it was until I did some research and found out it was a Musa basjoo. Unfortunately it died after three years. However, during those years I got some pups, some I let grow and others gave away, the ones I kept, gave me more pups which I exchanged for other Banana plants. At the moment I have 10 plants but cant differentiate them all. Im also growing first time from seeds and will try to get a musa Siam Ruby only if I manage to find any here in Switzerland. The problem seems to be that they are not that good on cold weather. Anyways I'll see how it goes. If I manage to get any plants from the seeds I'll post then later on here.

Thanks again for all the info, it has been really helpful.

Juuso,
Hope you have good luck growing from seed. I didn't do great but got some to germinate, patience pays. Imagine it is a task to grow bananas in your locale. Keep all posted as to your progress.
