  • Nope. Banana trees reproduce through a form of asexual reproduction in which a new plant grows attached to the roots of the banana tree and it starts off small and as it grows more mature it breaks off from the parent tree and becomes its own plant.
  • You can grow Banana plants from seeds but i do not think the actual fruit has a seed, if it does people eat themsince except for the skin the whole fruit is eaten. Good question now i have to go on a research hunt.
  • Wikipedia: Although the wild species have fruits with numerous large, hard seeds, virtually all culinary bananas have seedless fruits.
  • Yes, I think they're the tiny dots you can see in the center when you cut them in slices. This site has an enormous variety of them: http://www.virtualseeds.com/rain-main.html
  • Well, I went a-lloking, because I thought they did have seeds, and I have found out that the answer is both yes AND no. http://www.abc.net.au/science/k2/moments/s1453046.htm Banana Fruit and Tree The banana is so popular in Uganda that the locals eat about 250 kg each per year. In fact, the banana is so essential to their diet, that their word "matooke" means both "food" and "banana". The banana is not quite as popular elsewhere, but kids around the world like it because it's tasty, and because it's so easy to peel and devour. And they believe two things about bananas that are wrong. First, that the yellow banana is not a fruit (because it has no seeds), and second, that it comes from a tree (the banana tree). There are close to 1,000 species of banana today. Most of them are inedible - they carry hard pea-sized seeds, and have only a small amount of bad-tasting flesh. The botanists think that about 10,000 years ago, probably in South-East Asia, a random mutation produced a sterile banana with no seeds and lots of flesh that could be eaten uncooked. The internal dark lines and spots inside today's banana are the vestigial remnant of these seeds.
  • Since I live where banana plants are everywhere!,I know that they reproduce by another little plant growing just under the tree attached to the roots,just like what leprechaun said(asexual reproduction and all that stuff).But I heard on discovery that when white man first discovered them,they were being eaten by the natives of wherever,with seeds,seeds as big as the ones in apples!,they have been bred to have smaller seeds.If you look closely at the banana fruit,you'll see little black spots,those are the seeds.great question perfect timing,guess what I had for breakfast?
  • Yes bananas do have seeds. If you cut a banana in half lengthwise, the little black dots in the middle are the seeds. Great question.
