I am now researching a method that I heard about lately, it concerns speed propagation of bananas, but it requires time for the first batch, than it's fast. I have to choose the best cultivars first, so i might try this with Pahari Kela this winter and others later on. I find it very unlikely, that one of my eight Grand Nains won't have any pups this year, so there it goes, if interested. I will probably have to make one or two for YAKUZA as well. Jupiii, I really like experimenting. I wonder, if TCing can be skipped in such a small scale.
