Seed Float Test
Is the seed float test a good measurement of viability in banana seeds? I heard that if you soak seeds for 15 minutes in water and they are still floating they wont germinate. Thanks!

Re: Seed Float Test

Re: Seed Float Test
I've almost given up with seeds and just buy from others with more success or larger quantities of seed to perhaps sell as a business, although....two weeks bought a packet just to 'scratch that itch' .New plan though in my propergator I also have two types of tomatoes, basil etc just to be able to watch something grow!!!
