How do i grow a banana tree?
Store brought bananas are hybrids that do not have seeds. A true banana seed is rather large. The easiest way to propagate a banana is by root division, or suckering. Bananas are actually perennials not trees and will die back to the ground at the end of its life cycle, rest then regrow. It’s hard to tell you where to buy seeds without your location, however you can try local nurseries that specialize in tropicals. The effects of eating a non disease resistant banana — well – you’ll grow a tail. — Actually the term disease resistant refers to the plants ability to protect itself from pathogens that would otherwise attack the plant (another genetics altered hybrid), it does not mean that the fruit from the plant is healthier nor less healthy than a non resistant plant.
