"Keith, you would only need a little tissue"

Yes - but it is the meristem of the plant and there is only one per pseudostem. In essence you destroy the plant to get the tissue you need. If the culture becomes contaminated you are then out of luck.

Agristarts might be the way to go. The thing could go from $500 to $1in less than a year.
