Advice needed on Ensete glaucum seeds please;
Prior to a pre soak and scarification, I decided to crack a couple of my seeds (I have 100 from B&T World Seeds based in France) and they contained a fine white powder. Is this normal? I haven’t grown from seed before, but this doesn’t seem right to me...I was expecting a type of embryo; or am I completely wrong?
Any advice gratefully received, thanks!

3 years ago I bought 10 seeds from texas. 1 was broken it had nothing in it, I planted it anyway. had one come up and later on I checked the other pots and the one that was broken was the one that came up. I assume that what was in it was powder.

I have bought many seeds since and one time I got 20 seeds and cracked a few open and some were filled with powder. the first one was the only seed I could get started.

last year that cracked seed plant flowered and I planted near 40 seeds without scarifying and soaking. just threw them in a pot and soaked the pot good. I have seven that came up.

bottom line plant and see
