Why do you want seeds ? Musa banksii, the native banana is fairly seedy, with edible pencil size fruit. Other types of cultivated also have occasional seed, maybe you could ask about this. Ensete bananas and some ornamental types can be grown from seed.

because they can develop immunity to diseses , acclimatise to the local conditions and be selectivly bred etc . they are still grown and eaten in many parts of the world apparently :-)

Have you tried Musa banksii ? Is it worth growing in my native edible garden ?

There are 3 native banana in FNQ. I have tried banksii, the fruit are long thin, pencil to finger size, quite seedy but tasted pretty much similar to regular bananas. The other 2 types are small round fruit I think.
