I have two ice cream bananas blooming right now. One has male blooms and one has female blooms, so should I get these together to create seeds? Or will it even create seeds? I was thinking maybe if I had seeds of this one, I could grow them out and it would be fun.
Has anyone ever pollenated non-seed bananas and got seeds from the effort?
Of course I'm doing this right now just to find out!
