Hi I'm looking for some banana seeds of any kind and type. With instruction on how to grow them. I can pay for postage as long as its not a whole lot. Can anyone help me... My e-mail address is: cm.mesenbrink@cfu.net Please let me know.. CAN ALSO DO THIS: I will also trade one Burmese Blue plant for 4 diffent types of banana seeds with instruction on how to grow. For each diffent type of seed you must send 8-10 seeds. One per person,per address and must have 4 different types of banana seeds for this trade too work.... I can do this trade up to 3 times but not all at once so ACT NOW to get into a great DEAL. This is a limited time DEAL,once it gets cold out the shipping will be more in order to keep the plant from freezing. To anyone interested please let me know so I can repot one and get it ready to be sent out. This is only for shipping in the USA. Other wise I can't make this work. I would like to get dwart plant seeds but It's ok if not... After I hear from you,I will repot 1 and in about 3-4 weeks or sooner I will let you know when is ready to be mailed out. So I will need your mailing address. So you will know when to send your seeds out. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND PLEASE E-MAIL RIGHT AWAY in 1-2 weeks after your first e-mail too me... So I can move on to the next person on my list.. Thanks Christina

Thank you Frank! Yes, I did do some seaching on our forum. I know that there are chances that the seeds may not self pollinate, but I was wondering if maybe someone knew more of a ratio? I know that I have seen several fig varieties over at the figs4fun forum that were from seedlings, so I know that it is possible to get self-fruited varieties from seed. I know there is info on how to start seedlings too, but I was more interested in finding info that pertained to the germinating of aged seeds specifically. I guess I could try to find a site based on germination that may help? It is more so that it is such a "gold mine find" to me to find these seeds since the tree (and my Grandma) are both deceased. So I can only try to explain how it feels to find this, like as if you lost a loved one, and 20 years later, you found a long letter or video made by that loved one for you, that you never saw before. Almost like they have come back to life in a small way. So, to get something to germinate, even if not the exact fruit, would make me happy, to know that it at least was part of something that no longer exists. Again, thank you for the help! Christy
