Unusual idea for a propagation experiment
An idle brain is a dangerous thing I had the thought last night . What would happen lf you punched a small hole in the top of a corm of one cultivar of banana and inserted a seed from a different one . Would it germinate? If so would would be the result?

Re: Unusual idea for a propagation experiment
the idle mind might be a dangerous thing, but idle hands get you no where.

Possibly.
The species of the seed.

Re: Unusual idea for a propagation experiment
um would the roots grow all through the host corm like a tumour and kill the host ? or would it feed off the host and grow a minimal root system ? would it gain any benefit from the host if the host was more cold tolerant than the implant? can you picture a basjoo with 4 or 5 velutinas growing off the side? ha ha would a seed germinate in the sudostem and grow ?
inquiring minds want to know |

Re: Unusual idea for a propagation experiment
No traits of the existing plant would be transferred to the implant -- nor vis-a-vis.

at 66 years old ive learned not to expect the expected every time may try it this summer if i am still around could do it in the greenhouse but temps are a little low for good seed germanaton (45 nights 70 - 75 days) or perhaps some one in a warmer climate might do it sooner i will donate some fresh velutina seed to the cause Last edited by obdiah : 09-12-2017 at 08:24 AM. |

Re: Unusual idea for a propagation experiment
Your previous question indicates otherwise.
