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 violacea..its free :mad:

just wanna say this .. before people get pissed at me. i have free banana seed to give away. pissed already??

i got the seed from an online seed seller who has been praised on the site ( im not naming,so dont ask). anyways i ordered a variety of different seed in different amounts from that source. with different germinating methods i have had no luck.

so what im doing is giving away the remainder of seed to people who want to try their luck. i dont think its fair to sell the seed after the facts. i can give about 10 of each to make sure they go around.

i have violencea and Velutina seed available. all you have to do is p.m. me for my address and you must send a self addressed stamped envelope to me..

im only dealing with people in the continental u.s.a. since i dont want people pissed at me for have customs confiscate/destroy their seed.

if you have any luck with the seed please share on this thread.

everyone who is thinking about seed as of today im running low on violacea. . i have a few seed left for the next few people who request, no matter where you live . i have a few velutina also... postage is on you...... no guarantees about delivery due to customs (people outside of USA).

THey definatly are 'rare' seed indeed. One seed out of three bags?? Wow. I sent emails to this company they ignore them.. If they did reply they would probably tell me how im impatient or that i need some type of secret germination inducing solution that they sell exclusively because im screwing up. You guys can keep trying, good luck.. Im done.
