Hi from Dan
I've just joined and am already asking questions about bananas from seeds....like many others!
Ordered 4 varieties of "hardy" banana seeds from "seedman.com". (One just called "Cold Hardy", Giant Nepal, Yunnan, and Darjeeling) Received them about 4/12 and started them according to instruction using seed primer and peatpots. Today is 5/25 and I see no germination or development. My local nurseryman tells me to use a heating pad and that it takes 14 - 22 days. Have tried that...but still nothing....so far. Any helpful info from all of you guys (pros) would be appreciated. |

Re: Hi from Dan
Welcome here!!
muas's are slow germinators, maybe they start to germinate over 3 months.. you never know. its best if it is at night 17 degrees and at day 27 degrees for the seeds  (celcius)

Re: Hi from Dan
Welcome aboard!
Give it more time, they usually take longer than that! Banana seeds are some of the hardest seeds to germinate and can take a while! By the way, if you click the search fold-out menu, we have a temperature conversion calculator

Re: Hi from Dan
Dan,
I planted a banana seed on January 30th 2008. It came up April 2008. I did the heat mat and alot of other stuff with other banana seeds. None of them germed so far. This one banana I germinated, I did nothing special. Only thing i did special was to plant it and leave it alone on my plant rack!

Re: Hi from Dan
Hi Dan,
My father's family settled in Redlands in the 1800's and my uncle's family settled in Mentone -- establishing the Mentone Growers Association and also operating citrus ranches along the north side of Crafton Avenue. I still drive into the area about once a month to visit friends and relatives, and most summers I take time out to hike up to the top of San Gorgonio.
