I can't find pics of Griersonii seeds any where.
Does anyone have a clue where I might find those?:drum:

they are small seeds like sikkimensis or cheesmani seeds:

Thanks I did see those, but was wondering if anyone could confirm if those were in fact the correct "looking" seeds anyway. If the seeds of those in the pic were close to seeds people grew and confirmed were in fact Griersonii.

As we all know buying from Ebay is so risky when it comes to seeds on so many levels. Thanks for the info:2738:

the seeds look like the ones i have sown.

i got them from James, i think he got them from india.
I don't know if the result is 100% true to type Griersonii but sure not look like other seedling i have.

You are right, seeds from ebay can be surprising and the freshness of the seeds is a very relative consideration...

Thanks for the comparison.... H2O!!
Now James???
I wish I knew you had them...I would not have purchased them on Ebay.

I purchased them from 2 different people to make sure I had a mix and enough of them to get me started.

Great start there H2O how long did germination take?

Yes i got them from James [jmoore (http://www.bananas.org/f3/musa-griersonii-seeds-sale-15522.html#post193044)]!

Time to time he sells some musa / palm seeds.

Germinating seemed fast !?
(bought 21st july 2012 if i am right and picture of the 9th of august)

It usually take 2/3 weeks after 4 to 5 days soaking, but some seeds can take longer.
(velutina, even with fresh seeds takes longer (http://www.bananas.org/f30/germination-musa-velutina-17862.html#post218110))

i wish you luck with your seeds
