Seeds from this species ......difficult to germinate and need up to 6 months to
sprout.
These rather small seeds for an Ensete seem more diffucult to germinate than other Ensetes. I've only had 1
out of 100 germinate so far using the moist peat moss in baggy method. I won't give up until the seeds are at
least a couple years old.

...very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to
sprout.
Super easy. I soaked for two days in water, planted in a well draining mix with a heat mat and humidity cover.
First seed came up in 19 days. Do not try to break of scarify the seed coat, it is not needed.
