Re: Florida Orinoco history ???

I like em cause they are tough as heck, can take burning full sun in 100+ temps, cold, solid clay, and will survive in suspended animation under my house in winter for 6 months. I would say they are...

Re: When will my banana seeds produce leaves

I buy them From Mark Davies in the UK. I always get good germination from this seller, and decent prices for more seeds. Takes about 3 weeks to get them to the US from there, but worth it.

Re: When will my banana seeds produce leaves

The sphagnum method works best for me, I recently had 20 or so Musa Itinerans India form, and about 4 out of 10 Musa Thai black seeds germinate. I never had luck in soil. Since I had such good luck...

Re: Finally 1 musa Musa Griersonii!

1 out of the 3 that germinated so far, the first one died before it got out of the seed. I think this one is going to make it.
