I sent some seeds to Fernando (Fernie) in Pharr, TX earlier this week and he told me when they arrived they were nothing but dust! These were Musa velutina seeds. Everyone here knows how hard nanner seeds are. I just don't understand how they could have become crushed! I sent it like one would sent a letter or a bill. Do they go through some automated machine that would be strong enough to crush the seed to dust? I'd like to know so that next time I could send them properly, maybe in a bubble-wrap lined envelope instead. Any suggetions?

Sorry, Fernie!
