Yunnan banana from southern China. This banana is tolerant of cool conditions and therefore well suited to growing outdoors in the UK.. The leaves are born on blueish-grey pseudostems - new leaves have a pale red underside which fades as they get older. When mature, should be root hardy in milder parts of the UK.

Germination instructions

Special treatment is required to break dormancy. Soak seeds in warm warm for 48 hours and then sow on the surface of a sterile seed compost, before covering the seeds with vermiculite. Keep compost moist but not overly wet and maintain humidity levels so that compost does not dry out. Keep in a well lit spot.

Musa seeds require a daily temp cycle of around 9 hrs @ 30-35C and 15 hrs @ 12-15C to germinate. Germination is erratic - some seeds may start to germinate from around 5 weeks whilst others can take a number of months and sometimes over a year. Once germinated, keep the seedlings at a constant 25C to 30C until they are around 10-15cms tall, before potting on individually into 7cm or 9cm pots for growing on.
