Default Re: Soloman Islands bananas

Yeah, there are very interesting banana varieties, my Brazilian friend and I want them also to grow here in Brazil, but the problem are the import restrictions for bananas to Brazil for pups and rhizomes. But do you have seeds from the Fe'i species and Australmusas? I try to get contact with one banana researcher of Embrapa, because I could not find any nursery in Brazil which does offer Thousand Fingers, Praying Hands, Saba, Ele Ele and also these and the import restrictions are the big problem, not the climate. The climate is optimal for bananas here. I hope that these new cultivars and species will also be offered in Brazil one day. There are so many new dwarf cultivars from the Solomons, they might be optimal for my banana special garden at my pond in my chácara.

Gabe, there are so many amazing banana types, one big want for us to grow self in our gardens and greenhouses.

Best wishes
Joachim
