Then you already knew the answers before asking. ... The reason the bananas we eat (Dessert types commercially grown) do not have seeds & sterile is because they are Triploid. That is, they have an odd number of chromosome sets. Three in this case. ... But this doesn't mean they are not useful in genetic cross breeding. I'm not going deeper into this. You can google it and read it.


When I said use the search function, I meant search the internet not just this forum. Pro-Musa website has a lot of info on bananas and different types/varieties. ... This forum has a section just for propagation of bananas. You may get better response posting there as some forum members get specific notice of questions posted there.


You already know more than many members of this forum. But that is not to despair our members. Most members of this section of the forum is only interested in growing a tropical plants (bananas) in sub-tropical & cold growing zones and enjoy their rewards by eating the fruit of their labors.
