Abyssinian Banana Tree Seeds for Planting (5 Seeds) - Ensete ventricosum

Please don’t buy these banana seeds. It’s a waste of money. It didn’t grow. I followed directions, it still didn’t grow. I dug up the seeds today, it still hard as a rock. That is after over one month in the soil.

Edit- 2 different plant apps identify this plant as Indian shot canna. So far 4 of the 5 came up. I put in fridge overnight, then soaked in water for 8-10hrs. I used a seed grower with light. Took almost a month for anything to pop up. Anytime you use seeds it’s a gamble. I am very happy that 3 out of the 5 came up. I just transplanted the 3. Hoping the other 2 might come up too. If not I’m still happy.

Horrible process of sanding down the sides of these hard seeds like the direction said, and they never grew anyway, and I followed the instructions perfectly. I’m not adding a photo because it would be just an empty spot in my garden. Nothing grew.

Three of the 5 seeds sprouted.

one tree seed germinated and it is a lovely tree. The rest of the seeds have not shown in over a year.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Instructions not great. Scratch or nick to get to the inner seed? How far? Didnt want to ruin them so didn't go too deep. They didn't grow. Scored the pods to the inner seed. Still didn't grow. Don't waste your money.

Bought these twice already. They are cheap but cannot get any of them to germinate.

I took a chance didn’t think the seed would actually start growing. It only took about 2 1/2 weeks for the first one to pop up in about another week before another one and then so forth it’s only been about a month and they are growing pretty well and pretty decent sizes right now thank you so much.
