I 😘 your explanation and enthusiasm. You definitely love what you do and it shows. Your ideas have inspired me to plant the dwarf banana tree seeds belonging to my late dad I found cleaning out his home. I feel I owe it to him. He had plans and I'm going to make sure he has something to show for his passion. What a legacy and fond memories in the garden. I'll treasure them for life.
"If you live in a marginal climate like Zone 6 ..." Yep. Spokane, Washington, (and the surrounding areas) is in Zone 6. Thanks for the tips and guide. Will give it a shot.
You might get a few that sprout, but banana seed need to be planted soon after you get them. Sometimes sellers send old seed which don’t grow at all. keep them moist, warm and humid, with real sunlight in a bright window. Be patient, they may sprout soon.
Hi dergici, I’m not sure about which varieties come true to seed, but if I had to guess, the bananas which produce edible fruit are probably going to be mostly or completely seedless.
There is a natural soap called Miracle 2 Green Soap that has no chemicals, yet it is antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and is highly concentrated so you don't need to use much with water. You can use it to clean anything in your house, any room, do your dishes and even take a shower with it to clean your hair and everywhere else. It can also be used on your perts for a flea bath and is completely harmless. It is also good to balance your ph level.
Not at all, you can grow Musa basjoo or sikkimensis without winter protection, and a bunch of other ornamental varieties with protection (once established- plant in spring) in zone 8 there are even fruiting varieties, like ‘Dwarf Orinoco’ or ‘Namwah’. A south or East facing wall will offer protection for the species/ varieties listed as marginal in your zone.
What kind washingtonia palm seed you have? I have washingtonia filifera and filibusta palm and robusta palms. I ordered them on websites. And I once collect the washingtonia palm and Texas sabal palm seed from San Antonio Texas and grow them and plant too small seedlings in full sun they die I learn lesson best grow them in pot til big enough to be h wss handle in full sun til I about plant washingtonia palms in my yard. I once tried banana palm from seeds none them live I make mistake I didn't soak them wait few days and wait til they grow. Maybe I will try again to start banana palm from seeds.
Hey Frankie :) I have Washingtonia robusta and filifera, but not filibusta. Do they need light to germinate, what is the trick? That’s good to know about keeping them in shade, when young, but hopefully they sprout indoors before May, when they would go outside. That’s too bad the bananas didn’t work the first time, but I think you’ll be successful this time. :) I just got my Musa ‘Burmese Blue’ and they’ve been soaking for 2 days now. I’ll probably change the water tomorrow. They all sank immediately so I’m hoping that’s a good sign.
@@TheBarefootedGardener oh filibusta seeds on Ebay. No just seed tray normal moisture. My take about few days for washingtonia seeds to start. Yep I hope so.

I dont know what your plan for washingtonia palms in few years time. All need sun to grow fast they grow more slow in half sun take longer to grow 1 leaf almost 2 month in full sun 1 leaf every month. Some washingtonia palm bit stunted maybe someone keep in same pot long not put them bigger pot after some what outgrow cup size. If I start seeds and see good size seedlings best plant in 3 gallon they can grow more after out grow seed tray. So you can have good result for them to get much bigger faster. And I learn use outside soil better chance less shock to be plant it outside from plant potting soil and my grow better from loam soil anyway I don't need sand at all and I noticed it beef up better than potting soil I use potting soil first and learn they bit weak outside soil work better and more heavier than potting soil but it work that way. I hope you dont run out of room before you move different house.

Love the video except for the part about sanitizing. My grandma could grow anything in her sleep and lived to be in her early 90s. She didn't sanitize trays. She didn't sanitize her seed storage containers or garden tools or anything like that. This is some new generation "scared to death of all germs" stuff.
My grandmother was the same way...she could stick a broomstick in the ground and it would grow leaves...lolol...but she never did any sanitizing at all, she just planted the way she learned in her country of origin and she had a beautiful garden, veggies and flowers, she loved All flowers. I have some of her garden tools still..she was a beautiful lady...I love you grandma.

hi. what website you get your seeds from?
Hi Shannon, I got them from Etsy initially, but these seeds actually came off the seed grown plant which flowered a year later.
Im planning to plant musa tanee from seeds
UK here, I microwave my compost for 3 minutes, kills everything
That’s kinda interesting, you’ll want to re-introduce the beneficial organisms to your compost afterwards.
Is it possible to grow blue java from seeds?
Hi dergici,
I’m not sure about which varieties come true to seed, but if I had to guess, the bananas which produce edible fruit are probably going to be mostly or completely seedless.
Any luck with Musa Ingens?
I’ve never tried to grow them. Have you?
Have you tried Musa Zebrina seeds before?
I haven’t tried growing Musa zebrina from seed before. Have you?
@@TheBarefootedGardener I just ordered some seeds to try but they looks really nice plants
Where do you get your seeds from ?
Hi Calsey,
I get many of the seeds from Etsy, or other small businesses, but I had a Musa velutina which flowered and made its own seed.

How can seeds be harvested from existing banana plants?
I'm seeding Hawai Banana Musa Aeae White.
Is zone 8 too ambitious for bananas?
Not at all, you can grow Musa basjoo or sikkimensis without winter protection, and a bunch of other ornamental varieties with protection (once established- plant in spring) in zone 8 there are even fruiting varieties, like ‘Dwarf Orinoco’ or ‘Namwah’.

I agree with you, 95%, except some basic sanitation methods such as washing your hands after doing certain things, are generally a good idea, right?
Where do you buy your seeds from?
I get my seeds locally where possible, and off Etsy.
