When I get regular harvests I would ship some to newbies up north. That will likely be a while yet, though. I do wish more members were into that. $25 for a couple well packed hands in a one price box which cost $14 and change seems fair enough. 2-3 bucks a lb for the fruit is a good price. I bet someone could do well by many members that way and at least pay for their fertilizer... Someone with a few acres of favorite varieties may even turn a profit. It certainly seems there is a market for rare and unusual bananas...
