Re: OK>>>> Seeds are ready on the velutina!!!
Musa velutina makes a nice grove quickly. This spring I started with one sprouted seed of Randy's (that was 1.5 feet when I planted it in March) along with a few corms that I received in the mail. Here's the grove today! I like the slender leaves compared to musa basjoo. I think this banana grows to the perfect height and is wonderful for smaller yards.
Progress of the fruit. They seem to be getting very plump.
