Banana Seed Germination Forum As one of the toughest seeds in the plant kingdom to figure out the keys to germination success with, this is a forum with banana seed germination tips. Please entitle posts like "Musa balbisiana," or "Musa cheesmani," etc. People would then post a reply under that heading, sharing their germination successes (and failures), what materials and methods they used, germination percentage, etc. |

Re: just ordered some seed
Nope never heard of King Kong apart from the big ape that climbs the Empire State Building. I doubt very much that they are related to Mekong Giant. As far as I am aware the seeds for Mekong are not available.

Re: just ordered some seed
Okay so I got the seed and the supposed King Kong, its real name is Musa Balbisiana. Any info on this type ?
It sounds like its a old world variety, considered to be a wild banana I also got some Musa Sikkimensis

Re: just ordered some seed
I just planted mine. Musa Balbasiana Atia Black. Bought seeds from Mark Davies on ebay. To me plants look the same as Thai Black.

Re: just ordered some seed
Let us know how you get in with those as I've never been able to get them to germinate.
