Hi. I read my post above and it sounds like I'm being sarcastic. Sorry. I'm doing an experiment with my children to see if we can grow a banana plant from the seeds in the banana. I'm just curious if anyone has tried this and had success? Thank you.
 Have a wonderful day!!! |

i tried it, but none of them germinated. I believe that bananas are grown for produce (obviously), and not for tree reproduction. Most likely the seeds are sterile. Probably because the bananas hadnt ripened on the tree long enough, or im not sure if it takes a male and a female plant to make viable seeds. Best bet, buy some good seeds from a reputable source, and watch them grow!

That is interesting. I didn't even think about the seeds possibly being sterile. Good learning experience. Thank you very much!!!
