Re: Musa velutina flower

Hey thanks for the info! I hope to try them myself at some point.

I've read that they're very sweet and quite delicious but that, as you pointed out, there are a lot of seeds. I think generally...

Re: Musa velutina flower

Amazing! Are you able to pick the bananas to eat or do they just peel on the plant? Have had conflicting reports. Have just managed to score two pups from a UK seller so hopefully I'll be able to get...

Re: Interested in the following rhizomes (plus suggestions!)

Thanks for the info J. I'm hoping to speed up the process with the use of hydroponics and some climate control. I have a feeling it's somewhat naive, but there are some advantages to this mindset...

Re: Interested in the following rhizomes (plus suggestions!)

Hey Nate, thanks for the info. Wow, 6 months seems like an amazingly long time :O) I guess it's hard to know if it's going well at that rate. Do you have any tips? I've read that you should soak the...

Re: Shops, nurseries... in Europe

Hey

Just wanted to mention I'd found a place in Sweden that sells Musa Velutina seeds. Not a banana place as such but they do just this one variety.

Re: Interested in the following rhizomes (plus suggestions!)

Thanks Pam. I found a few guys in Europe on the forum who have the plants so I'll try with them, but I've decided to try seeds if I have no luck there. All the best with yours! Keep us updated :2738:

Re: looking for information

Hey Pam

Re: Interested in the following rhizomes (plus suggestions!)

Thanks for the info guys. Quite an eye-opener. I'll have to hope some of the European members will sell/trade, or otherwise I'll be giving seeds a go. Wish me luck!
