Musa Campestris

I acquired some seeds of these some time ago and started planting them last year. Has anyone else worked on growing these in the US? Gabe, I seem to remember you ordering some of these seeds back when Tim and I were ordering them?

Ya, I had some of var. limbangensis and var. lawasensis (I think) from Bob Cannon, but none ever germinated. I also got 20 TC plants from Malesiana Nursery of var. sarawakensis (along with 20 M. borneensis) but they all died. There is a single plant of an unknown variety that was collected in the wild growing in Hawaii, I know the owner, however it is a very weak plant for some reason and has not produced any suckers. If that one ever starts growing well I might be able to acquire it.

Have any of these germinated for you?
