Where did you get those seeds (since they are easy according to you).
And are they real white nagensium seeds or black nagensiun x seeds?

Can't see any difference between 15 gallon Cheesmanii and 5 gallon Nagesium. The seeds were also identical. Bothe the plants look so different than other bananas at all stages, so the two species are either really closely related or the same seed is being sold with two different names.
The first batch of cheesmanii seeds was from RPS, and the second was from Ortanque(spelled wrong). The nagesium seeds were from sunshine Floir noir variety(if I remember correctly), and they were just black like cheesmanii. Even the other types they sell there are almost the same as floir noir, but they were older, and mine got bugs, and never sprouted.
I think Erland was right on one of his other threads about seedman having the real nagesium. The seed packs had larger smooth seeds, but there was also one bumpy flat seed in each packet, which if I'm not mistaken( the flatness) is a characteristic of the true form.
