Banana/Musa

21 years ago

Hello forum

Please can you help me as Im trying to get hold of some banana seeds especially Ensete ventricosum, the Abyssinian banana. Does anybody have some seeds they might be prepared to sell or swap or know of any seed companies or nurseries where I could buy some please?

I am interested in your banana musa and several other things on your lists. I have a white poppy seed (not for sure if it is the one you are looking for as I received it in a trade last year and was the first year I grew it from seed, but collected several seeds from it & took photos. So if you would like I can send you some photos. I also have several different types of flower seeds. I am interested in morning glories, four o'clocks, poppies, but you can also temp me...Big Smiles!!! SnowBearsCabin Send me an e-mail at this address: natureswaygrammie59@yahoo.com Thanks

It's called by another name too, which I think is actually a more accurate name. Musa initerans 'Form India'. It's not edible, but a real beauty. I have a few pictures of the one I had, if you visit bananas org site, and do a search there are a few people that have it, but not many.

Hi Roopaw

Did you have your AB grown in full sun or part shade as mine tends to get some leaf scorch if in full sun (unless it hasnt been hardened off)?

You can buy them from Palms & Plants Galore in wattleup (between Freo and Rockingham). I think theyre about $20 for a 300mm pot but they might have gone up and there are bigger ones there too (well last time I looked). I dont grow it, all our space has gone to edible varieties however i would love to track down a Musa velutina!
