Re: Uk Bananas
They should pop soon. Quite easy from seed. They need about 30 - 35 degrees constant temperature. I tried them, but I don't think ensetes work too well in the UK climate. They aren't hardy as I've seen them described on ebay.

Re: Uk Bananas
On the topic of Ensete germination you could also talk to Dalmatiansoap, he's something like our local expert.

Personally, I haven't tried it (at least not with bananas), because growing many seeded varieties would serve only esthetical purpose and that's something I cannot waste my resources on in this climate. Although, I will be trying Musa basjoo 'Rubra' and Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelli' very soon.

Re: Uk Bananas
I got the seeds from an ebay shop, so they probably won't be in the best condition. I will just have to sit tight and cross my fingers. "Patience is a virtue" Or so they say!
