Hi all,
My name is Mark and I have recently joined as a member. I live in Adelaide Australia. I purchased a few Abyssinian plants a few months ago and adore them. I have since purchased some seeds but I am having great trouble with germination. My other problem is that I am not able to purchase any variety with seed due to the customs restrictions in Australia. So basically, I joined so I could have a chat and gain some advice on the many questions I have about the ornamental banana plant. I look forward to discussions with many of you. Kind regards Mark. |

Re: New member
Welcome....Have been to your hometown....we actually toured across Australia.....by train!! Beautiful, beautiful country!!! We still tell people about Cook....what is it....600 miles away from any other city or town? It had 2 residents when we were there.....railroad employees....
I have only been a member for a couple weeks but have already learned so much...it's a great site and you'll enjoy it. Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful. I'm growing a tropical garden in VA....Zone 7....and get more confident each time I read the posts that it will be successful.... Glad to have you!

Re: New member
Welcome! Mark good to have you aboard. Banana seeds some can be hard to germinate. as with any seed soil temps and moisture are the keys. we have some excellent resources for finding out for us newbies. Banana seeds have a vary hard outer shell I've heard that some of the Banana.org people file it down until they get to the lighter part inside being careful not to damage the Germ. that lets moisture get in at an exhilarated rate or you can just Waite and let them do it on there own. Gab for example stated in one thread that his Ensete ventricosum seed took 6 moths to germinate. Chong is the go to for really specific Temp guides shes a wiz. Medea hound knows tuns too. but really if you just do searches for topics there a bunch of threads that tell you what to do.
Ps i found this vid in a search its kinda fun! http://www.youtube.com/v/8bU6wley2HM&rel=1 also heres a thread that will get you started. germination guide  Last edited by damaclese : 05-27-2008 at 07:51 AM. Reason: typ - o |

Re: New member
Welcome aboard Mark! Nice to see another hot-area grower. As Damaclese says, it's tough to start from seed. But I have a friend in Adelaide who has mature plants; I'll see if he's got pups he's willing to part with.....
