How do I start and grow my own Banana tree?

Question

what ways are to be grown like seed or transplant I don't know you tell me they say you can grow it by planting a banana is that true? and what are the ways to keep it sane

Answer 1

You grow them from a sucker of an existing plant called a "stool". You need a tropical or subtropical climate. Most bananas you buy in shops come from sterile varieties and they have no seeds, so you can't grow them from the fruit. If you plant one the worms will love it, but unfortuately you won't get a banana plant.

Answer 2

If my husband is correct lol (which he probably is considering he grew them in Mexico) they're grown from transplant. After you plant them, you cut the top off leaving it about 3 ft. tall. It doesn't need much water to grow. Alot of the watering depends on what area you live. Also if helps if you add a fertilizer when planted.
But he pretty much said they can grow well without alot of care and tending to.
Good Luck

Answer 3

A banana you eat has undeveloped seeds so no, if you plant a banana it will not grow. Go to parkseed.com and you can buy some banana seeds. They're pretty steep though--last time I bought some they were about a buck apiece.
