... are very easy to germinate and need up to 1 month to sprout.
I put seeds in individual peat pots without soaking or any other treating. Bottom heat kept the tray at about 80 deg F. 60% sprouted in 12 days.

This species are very easy to girminate. The first step to take
is soak the seeds for 2 days in water BUT do not refresh the water.
Now its time to saw I put the seeds in cocopeat that's little moist.
Than I took a plastic bag end put the mix of the seeds and cocopeat
in the bag that I closed very good. I hang the bags against the
sealing of my living room because the warmest place in house is
the sealing. During the daytime it was about 15c and in the evening
when the heating in house was on it was about 27c. The first 15
seeds of the 19 germinated in less than 13 days

I had no previous seed germinating experience. I had 100% germination
with this Musa sp. in as little as 2 weeks. I now have a boatload
of seedlings everywhere!

End may 01 I ordered at rarepalmseeds ten seeds and got 22 seeds.
First germination after some days, eleven germinated within two
weeks- one of them with three trunks. Germination stopped after
3 month. After two weeks no more germination appears. I lost two
in my tropical chamber, I think it was to hot for them. I'm not
sure, but treatment should be similar to Trachycarpus fortunei (not
so hot).Strong attack by spider mite (Tetranychus urticae ?)in autumn
, chemical treatment, lost of some leafs, but totally recovered.Now
(December 01) -6 month after germination- high of about 1 m. Image
available on request.

Harder to germinate than the other bananas it makes up for this
as will be seen below.Seeds are soaked for three days in fresh water
and fungicide. Put in vermiculite and kept at 27C (81F) expect about
50% success. Do not over pot the seedling as this leads to rot.They
will grow very quickly and many will produce a sucker within 6 months
of germination.
