Nineteen!What a great crop! How many seeds did you plant Banana Bill that you managed to get 19 to germinate? :bungejumpnaner: Great pictures too! Keep us all posted; we all are interested to see your progress.

Hi Dean;
I left my M. violacea much longer in the pot and they seemed to preform better if they have 1 or 2 open leaves to help the repair the root damage that will occur when they are transplanted.

The 3 M. velutina that I have had trouble with were transplanted before the first leaf opened. 2 of them were put into fertilized potting soil and died. With the last one, I moved it out of the fertilized soil and into unfertilized soil before it was dead. So far it is still alive-just barely.

Allen,

Thanks for the input. It's very helpful, I'll leave them alone tell they get bigger. Counted three today. :)

Hi Dpren,

I sowed about 60 seeds during the last Oct and Nov, hoping to get a couple to sprout. Since I posted the pictures, I have had more come up. I now have a total of 29 baby bananas, and more plants than I know what to do with. I will keep a few, and give or trade rest away.

Congratulations to everyone with sprouts. Those of you who are still waiting, don't give up yet. Patience is the key here.

Hi Randy!
Well I do beleive I got a nanna!!!!!:waving:
I started this , 1-30-08, in the pop pot with ponderosa lemon
seeds ( thanks mskitty).

This pot hasnt been moved from this location since its been
planted.

The only thing is.......
I don't know if its the seed from you or Austin!!!!!!!:moonwalknaner:

Re: OK>>>> Seeds are ready on the velutina!!!
 
Super clear pic, Lynn!!!! Congrats, on whatever kind of nanner it is. I honestly hope it is one of Austin's as I have yet to have any luck with the ones I received from him. Hey, if it is Austin's, you can be the Musella germinator and everyone else will have to send their Musella seeds to you and you can in turn send velutina to them. Talking about cohabitation!!! Takes for the update and when I get a little larger, be sure to post more pics and keep up in the loop~~~

Re: OK>>>> Seeds are ready on the velutina!!!
 
Last year, Randy sent me some musa velutina seeds. I had trouble germinating them and got one to sprout November 2007. I babied it indoors during the winter and planted it out in April. It is now rewarding me with a flower! The pseudostem is only 3 feet tall. Now, this year I may have seeds! Thanks, Randy!





I like how this pic shows the flag leaf perfectly.

Congrats on your sprout! We'll see if it turns into a musella or a musa over time, I guess. I haven't heard of any musella sprouts yet so this just may be the first! Keep us posted. Ain't it fun?

Today I separated them 60 seeds into four batches of 15 each.

One batch i put into small ziplock baggie with just moist paper towel (no soil). Put this baggie on my computer table under my reading lamp.

One batch i put in another ziplock with germinating mix--place this baggie outside for mother nature to play with

One batch i put into small plastic container about the size of a ice cream container with germinating mix. Put this container under my reading lamp on the computer table.

Last batch i put into another plastic container and place in my bedroom which really should be at room temperature.

Will update y'all when something happens.
Did you sterilize the seeds before putting them in the containers? 10% bleach solution for a few seconds will help clean them. Rinse with water after that, then put a little bit of charcoal dust, cinnamon or chamomile tea in the mix to help reduce fungus from growing. Also helps with damping off in non-sterile soil. Just a few tips I have picked up along the way. Good luck!

Looks great, Austin!

Pink Bananas
 
The flower has now opened up and is looking great. I can't believe I have little pink bananas! :goteam:

Is this banana self pollinating? Any chance of seeds?

Re: OK>>>> Seeds are ready on the velutina!!!
 
Congrats, Austin... Looks great!!! You will probably have more seeds than you will know what to do with... Keep us posted...
