Erlend,
You're going to sow 200 sikkimensis. If I remember correctly from your other posts this is only part of what you sow!
What to you do with all those plants ? Got any spare ? How difficult would it be to export plants from Norway to Belgium ? Should be a lot easier and cheaper than from the US.

Yes, that's true. Lots of bananas this year. I have about 8 different species that I grow from seed. Most of them I sell, some I keep, and some I give away to friends and family. Some people want to buy them at the 2 leaf stage!
Norwegians are terrible gardeners, but it is an area that interests alot of people. My mother told me that in the 1960s, modern "gardening" with lawns and specimen plants was still a new thing in rural-Norway. Understandably, the concept of growing bananas and other exotics in Norway is even today taken as a joke by most people here. But this past year, more and more people are demanding Trachycarpus fortunei and Musa basjoo.
I could certainly send plants to Belgium, but I would reccomend you check import restrictions since Norway is non-EU.
Actually, I have imported alot of Trachycarpus from the Netherlands, usually with several other people to share transportation costs. This has been no problem.
