Default Re: New banana seeds.... Viable?

Hre is more info on breaking seed dormancy. I read where you can treat tough seed with
a mild solution of hydrochloric or phosphoric acid. This will simulate the effect of passing
through an animals digestive tract. Soaking solution must be very dilute. You must be cautious doing this. I also saw a product called GA3 (gibberellic acid) it is a powder mix.
I saw it on Ebay today. It might be worth looking into.
