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.

Default roots but no stems

A couple of years back I planted a batch of M Velutina seeds.

Very rapidly they filled their pots with roots, but never produced any stems above the soil, then eventually after a few months of root growing they died.

Other M Velutina seeds I have planted have never done this.

Does anyone knw anything about why they did this, or were they just a batch of mutant seeds?
