== Propagation ==

* '''Seed:''' Wild plants are propagated sexually by seed. Fresh, large seed can be sown in individual containers at about 20 °C and kept warm and moist. Seed-grown plants preserve sexual variation and should not be assumed to reproduce a named edible clone.
* '''Suckers and corms:''' Division of suckers is the usual practical method for preserving a fruiting plant's clonal identity. Separate a healthy sucker with part of the corm and establish it in a warm, lightly shaded position before planting out.
* '''Tissue culture:''' Commercial banana production commonly uses tissue-cultured plants or other clonal material. This is appropriate for uniform cultivar production, but it does not make a wild seedling genetically equivalent to a commercial clone.<sup id="cite_ref-3">[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-4">[[#cite_note-4|[4]]]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-6">[[#cite_note-6|[6]]]</sup>
