Default Re: Stratification

The stratification I knew involved sowing the seeds in a moist mixture and than letting the tray freeze, defrost, freeze, defrost, ... a number of times. I wondered if this freezing was also involved with banana seeds. Thanks for clarifying that!

I have
Musa Sikkimensis
Musa Thomsonii
Muselle lasiocarpa

I was thinking of expanding with :
Musa Basjoo
Musa Yunnan
Musa Velutina
Musa ensete Ventricosum
Musa ensete Ventricosum "Maurellii"
Musa Rajapuri
Musa Super Dwarf Cavendishi

Do you think this is a reasonable choice for zone 8?

I'm wondering about the Rajapuri. I've read it tastes good, but will it flower and set fruit in my zone ?
