Musa sikkimensis, also called Darjeeling Banana or Sikkim Hardy Banana, is one of the highest altitude banana species and is found in Bhutan and India. The trunks can reach 14' in height with a diameter of 18". The leaf backs emerge a dazzling cinnamon-red. The pulp is scanty, dirty white to pale brownish-pink. Flowering and fruiting takes place from October to April.
Banana sowing instructions: Abrade a side of each seed with a sand paper, then soak seeds for 24 hours before sowing 1/2" deep in a potting mix. Keep warm, between 70 and 85F and in a bright light. Germination can be erratic, usually taking between 2 to 12 months, sometimes longer, so do not discard the seed pots.
