Growing ornamental banana's from seed ? worth it ?
Is it worth the time and effort to grow bananas from seed or better to get plants ?

Re: Growing ornamental banana's from seed ? worth it ?
I have, many years ago with the excellent advice from a member ( Tang ) who has since passed on, I'm sure there are members here that remember him, he was a good man. It was my first Zebrina, she lasted a few years until we had a harsh winter and I had the heat on in my apartment constantly and I over watered her, it broke my heart.
Is it worth it yes, it may or may not put out fruit but the satisfaction of it growing is worth it

Re: Growing ornamental banana's from seed ? worth it ?
We have grown a lot this spring from seed, along with ensete. Very easy, very quick to germinate and grow like wild. They are now all in the 2 foot stage, some almost three. Sikkimensis, acuminata, unknown, Ensete (2 different)

I did seed the first time this winter and I learned a few things about the banana process. |
