![]() Seeds are 5 cents each plus shipping.
If you're interesting in growing seeds from a Blue Java Ice Cream Banana post your zip code (US48 only) and I'll message you when we have extra seeds available. Thanks Members that are successful growing these seeds and also post photos will have access to seeds from others cultivars we pollinate. Just harvested a large Blue Java bunch that was hand pollinated. Ice cream banana has seeds when it is pollinated Ice cream is seedless banana when not pollinated Ice cream banana does not self-pollinate Quote:

![]() I would like to purchase seeds. But you will have to coach me to get them to germinate and grow.
I would rather purchase a couple pups, but beggars cant be choosey. Thanks, John 71203 Last edited by JReynolds : 01-26-2022 at 10:39 AM. |

![]() The start of this thread offers Blue Java seeds from a commercial grower. I just assumed they knew what they were offering.

![]() The average hand pollinated Blue Java bunch produces well over a thousand seeds.
This tiny Blue Java bunch I just cleaned had over 800 seeds.

Gabe has been incredibly helpful with my breeding program and he has already posted that he doesn't have any breeding experience with banana cultivars that have balbisiana genes. To my knowledge the Ice Cream banana has an ABB genotype and those two B's signify that it has two balbisiana genes. Can you share with the members what you based your knowledge on.

![]() Will these seeds make plants? I'm confused by the comments in the thread. If they do are you sharing/selling seeds? I'm interested.

![]() I never assume that someone will correctly repeat what I write but it does seem wrong to call these seeds or any other seeds regardless of their origin "Blue Java seeds" when it's certain that they won't produce Blue Java plants.

I don't know if momoese is the original source of the misinformation or if they are just repeating nonsense they read elsewhere but it was obvious they have no knowledge or experience on this topic. Interpreting written information that isn't directly related can sometimes be challenging but it does seem difficult to believe that anyone would think that an edible banana with extremely high seed production would be infertile. "Seeds of cultivated bananas When edible bananas that have residual fertility are used in breeding, the number of seeds produced is generally low to very low. Both seed viability and seed dormancy can impact on germination rates. In a study of the products of crosses between 20 East African highland banana cultivars and Calcutta 4, the number of seeds per bunch ranged from 3 to 26, with an average of only 9 seeds per bunch. Of these seeds, only 42% had embryos, of which only 9% germinated following embryo extraction and germination in vitro." The main reason I recommend to newbies that are interested in using edible bananas in their breeding programs to start with the Blue Java is because it has been the most fertile edible banana plant I've worked with so far and initial success is much more fun than failing.
