Most 'dessert' (that is eatable type) bananas are propagated by division; are sterile and seedless. Seeded type bananas are considered to be ornamental. I don't grow Basjo, but I believe it is seeded. Germination is very long and the success rate is low. Thus propagation by division of the pups from the mother plant. There are a few wild type bananas that do not produce pups and do rely on seeds.


If you are looking to buy banana seeds from the internet, ... DON'T ... You need very fresh seeds and it has been proven that many of the banana seed sellers do not actually furnish real banana seed much less the specific variety you wont. So reliable seed seller for bananas are rare.



I suspect one reason no one has replied to your above question, if you have done your internet search & homework, you should have already found this info. ... There is an entire section of the forum on banana propagation.
