In other words, do you think that most of the banana seeds would be fresher this time of the year that the vendors are selling? Or are they getting them from places where they would receive fresh seeds all year? Or does anyone even think that matters since they germinate so erratically usually..

I received some "miracle seed starter" from a local guy that says that he can sprout marigold seeds in 17 hours with this stuff to try out (I know they're easy anyway, but that did sound fast!) and I thought maybe banana seeds, being the biggest pain in the rear to start would be a great challenge for his product.
