I need help.
I love Banana trees and other Tropical Plants. But in Virginia, it can be tough to grow one. In a typical store-bought Banana, where are the seeds? Are they the microscopic black specks? I was going to experiment, so I have stored them in a plastic bag. How should i try to germinate them in the heat? Will they even grow? Expert Advice is wanted. |

Most eatable bananas won't have seeds. Those little tiny specks are sterile seeds . If they weren't, you'd brake your teeth eating them.

But can you buy banana seeds somewhere and grow the plants from them?

Hello
Banana seeds are easy to start if you have fresh seeds. I find that starting them outside in 4" pots under shade cloth when the temp. is around 80 to 85 F. works well. NEVER NEVER let them get dry or they will die. Don't be in a rush give them time. Don G. |

Don or anyone else that needs a banana tree, i just got a job in upstate New York and i cannot bring my banana tree with me. I bought it at http://realpalmtrees.com/ and it came with a certificate of authenticity and everything, I even payed extra for the pot. I want to let it go to someone who is going to take care of it, let me know if you or anyone wants to have it...
thanks Dan P.S go to their website and you'll see the banana tree and the certificate and pot that im talking about, it was defiantly worth the money. Thanks, Daniel |

Hi Daniel,
I would love to have your banana tree. I have learned a lot over the 2 years since I made that first post. If you still have it, please contact me via PM or something...or I will PM you, either way. I now know that I can take care of bananas since I have over 10 varieties (all new to this year or last...) and even got a few blooms. Thanks, TaylorWasConfused |

Sorry I couldnt get back with you Taylor, but my wife told our neighbors if they wanted it around the same time i posted this. there was a miscommunication error there between her and I. sorry buddy. I would have rather given to someone who was going to take care of it and adore it. I bought it from that website as a small and then they sent me some packet with organic root hormone and some other stuff and it grew like crazy, then it bloomed and soon after it gave off real bananas in our living room area... all our guests were like NO WAY!!! so, my bad. People told me on other sites that i paid a little much for it but i don't think so, because it came straight to my door with a whole bunch of stuff and i watched it grow amazingly...anyways, im sorry but let me know if you want my discount # its 10% off my next purchase, ill give you that... i really feel bad...
 Thanks, Daniel |
