Re: Containers and fruit
I have had White Iholena and Raja Puri fruit in 45 gallon pots . I used potting soil mixed with perlite. I would advise staking any fruiting pseudostems . Given our California Santa Ana winds.

Re: What are these?
I get the same looking thing in Monterey Park , CA. I am guessing they are a Namwah variety. Try to pickup the fattest kind. The thinner ones sometimes are not completely developed in the center.

Re: Looking for banana seeds
Sego Nursery in Valley Village not too far from you has a few varieties. But choose carefully . Sometimes they have mushy pseudostems.
