Hi my name is Mike, I live in Indianapolis(Speedway actually) and my zone is 6a. Not great for tropical plants. I get six months out of my tropicals which have been elephant ears and Kanas. Last year I bought two Red banana plants at the local nursery. They were labeled Red Banana. For whatever research I did I believe the plants are called red Abyssinian. They are very good looking plants. This year I bought a labeled Japanese Banana which I'm guess its a Mussa Bajoo? It pretty clear that I'm still new at these plants but I'm learning fast. I even got a pup off of it and its growing well in a pot.
Last year and this year I dug up the red banana's and put them in a box for the winter. The other banana I'm gambling on is I used the air bubbles, straw, mulch and bags. To keep it warm, hopefully. I have pictures and plan to share, but I want to introduce myself first.
So lastly, tonight I just bought five seeds from Seedman. They are for a giant nepal banana ensete glaucum. I cant imagine it getting as big in six months but would like to try. Actual question is will these seeds give me five plants or will I be lucky to get one? will the give me some kind of write up on setting up the seeds?
Thank you for any info. I do plant to provide pictures
