I was a bit surprised when I saw a Hilo seller list another Ae Ae for sale on eBay the other day. I would think that there would be much greater demand (and higher prices) in the spring. But, with over a day remaining, it is already over $100 with several bidders. Are there a lot of people with greenhouses, etc. that keep demand high year-round? Even in our warmer climates, planting a new banana this time of year can be challenging, I've read (i.e., Jordon has indicated that late-season pups usually don't survive). I'm just trying to understand what other people are doing.

Thanks!
