Banana seed sowing helps
 

Hello everyone !:goteam:

I am here because I have a quick question about my banana seedlings.
I sowed banana seeds from a banana buy in the store 2 or 3 weeks ago and there are small plants starting to come out I would like to know if they are really bananas...:08:

Thank you very much and have a good day !

No, those are not banana seedlings.

You said you got them from a store bought banana, the little black dots you see inside are not seeds - they are seedless.
Real banana seeds are found from 'wild' type bananas and are considered inedible because they are huge marble sized and hard as a rock.

Edible bananas like store bought ones can only be grown from a pup/sucker off another banana plant or grown from a tissue culture of the rhizome - they cannot be grown from seed as they do not contain real seeds. You can buy them at a local nursery or online on sites like Ebay or even from members on this forum.

Here is a picture of what real banana seeds look like
