Dear All-

I was really encouraged by the update on banana hardiness (thanks JoeReal!). I want to thank all that have posted their info. I've been colleting it. I really think this winter has been a blessing in disguise! Everyone should take notes.

Last summer I created a "banana island" surrounded by rock paths. I don't have the bananas yet, but I am hoping to attempt to fruit an edible banana up here (it's called zone-denial). My basjoos are beautiful, but, as with most plants, I won't be completely happy with them until they are in my belly

This may not be the best time of season to request, but would anybody have any pups, plants or rhizomes that they need to get rid of of the following varieties?:

Dwarf Brazilian
California Gold
Misi Luki
Dwarf Orinoco
Raja Puri

(others of reported hardiness: Thousand Fingers, Monkey Fingers, Golden Rhinohorn, Mysore, Namwah; how they would do in my cool summer nights is anyone’s guess)

I am interested in pups or rhizomes as I have heard that they mature much quicker than tissue cultured plants. Many are offered for cheap on ebay, but I assume they are tissue.

I can trade plant material or purchase.

Thanks-

Mark
Seattle, WA
