Musa Flaviflora
This species of banana grows wildly in small pockets of the northeastern parts of India in the wet evergreen forests and is rather rare. It does flower and produce fruits throughout the year in its native land. Once been considered synonymous with Musa thomsonii, but a study has since shown that although similar they are distinct species. Where as it shows that the pseudostem only grows to about 1.8-2.1 meters tall, with a mature circumference of 20-30cm at the base. It is green in color with small black blotches, and waxy in nature towards the upper portion. The bract color is adaxially red and abaxially cream with a pink tinge. Male buds are degenerating before the maturity of the fruits.
Should be grown in sheltered spots with full to partial sun with good levels of warmth. USDA zone is unknown to us.
NOTE: As with all Musa, germination times vary from 3 months to 9 months. Not all will come up at the same time.
This offer is for 5 seeds.

NO RETURNS/REFUNDS/REPLACEMENTS ON SEEDS
Most specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate.
Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. These factors are totally out of The Plant Attraction's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or mistakes. Since 2006 we have been doing our best to hand sort and provide the freshest, cleanest harvest that is free of defects and bugs.
