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?

BANANA Musa - Double/Mahoi and ice cream banana
Q
Comments (6)
Double Mahoi can be grown in a container. Mine seems to be more subjective to root rot than some of the others in containers so be careful especially in the winter with the watering. Also my Double Mahoi (6 ft) does not seem to sucker near as much as the other bananas that I have, until it actually flowers. Some other good edible ones for containers are dwarf cavendish (5 ft), dwarf orinco (5-6 ft.), grand nain (6-8ft). The dwarf brazilian also only get to 7-9 ft and has edible fruit- I haven't tried that one but it seems like it might do okay in a container as well, maybe someone else can comment on that variety. ~Lenette

Im an air force vet im only 31 years old but gardening helps keep me calm and relaxed. I'm looking for a musa cadavish banana plant if anyone has one or any tropical fruit trees and plants or any plants will be greatly appreciated. I live in west Texas( Amarillo) but I have a greenhouse and sun room to keep my plants and hopefully learn more on propagation so I can share more plants and seeds with people. Thank you and god bless.

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!
