It will be much easier for me to let someone else do the teaching and be the first seller and when that's taken care of I will be happy to make my hybrid seeds available.

Seeds are 5 cents each plus shipping.
If you're interesting in growing seeds from a Blue Java Ice Cream Banana post your zip code (US48 only) and I'll message you when we have extra seeds available. Thanks
Members that are successful growing these seeds and also post photos will have access to seeds from others cultivars we pollinate.
Just harvested a large Blue Java bunch that was hand pollinated.

Edible banana cultivars that are pollinated can produce seeds.
Edible banana cultivars that are not pollinated don't produce seeds.
Think of a supermarket banana like a supermarket egg.
If a supermarket egg is fertilized it can produce a chick.
If a supermarket egg is not fertilized it doesn't produce a chick.
Here's some photos of three common edible banana cultivars that will easily produce seeds if there's a compatible pollen source within a quarter mile.
ABB Blue Java
AAB Manini A'ea'e
AA Veinte Cohol
The two most common edible banana cultivar seeds I see for sale on the internet are Blue Java and Manini A'ea'e seeds. But you should be cautious because even though those seeds are very easy to produce there's no way to be sure the seeds actually originated from those fruit. And even if they did, it's important to realize they will not produce Blue Java or Manini A'ea'e seedlings. Each seed, if it germinates will produce a new variety and you won't know if these new varieties are seedless or seeded until after they bear fruit. |
