I know this belongs in another section of the forum, but I wanted to get the most exposure I could get on this. With the large response to my Musa velutina seed offer on this board as well as another board I post on, I was wondering if I could simply ship the seeds still in the fruit. This would greatly speed up my shipping time not to mention saving me from the arduous task of cleaning them. What problems would this cause, if I shipped this way? Has anyone ever shipped seeds this way? If I placed one or two bananas in a ziplock bag, mashed the nanner and then shipped it out, would harm come to the seeds??? Please all you shipping/seeder experts give me your input!!!
Thanks in advance and sorry if I angered anyone by placing this thread in the main discussion forum...

If anything I think it would better better for the seeds because the flesh would act as a cushioning material like a tasty bubble wrap, yum!

I think I still have some M. velutina seeds in storage if anyone else needs any. Collected this spring, cleaned, planted a few, remaing seed stored in freezer to prolong germination. PM if interested.

Have you tried germinating the seed after storing them in the freezer?
