I found this person who claims to have a Pisang Klotek. Did you get this pup from me?

I see you have a lot of banana plants in pots, what's the deal with that?

Going to the link you provided, you can click on the user name. Curiously, there is no Banana album listed.

Wow, this person deleted the album but it's still cached in my browser so I'm getting screen grabs of all the pages! :ha::ha::ha::ha::ha:

Doing a little search it looks like this person was doing some TC work.

Actually, I think they attempted to delete the album but the software on the site only deletes the link from the user's page to the collection. It greedily retains pictures to lure others to the site.

He did sell his plants and move to China. Some people were not happy with the transactions but that's not my concern.

I only know of one other person who bought a Pisang Klotek from the same source mine came from. They have blogged about it but not updated so It's my guess is that it died.

I have personally distributed about a dozen of them around the world, mostly here in the states though.

This year I started spreading the PK's around. Nick Naranja and Darkman just got one -- also one of my tropical fruit tree club members.

Mitchel, were did your original PK come from? Was it the from the nursery down the street from your place I visited or was that the Hawaiian Apple?

Yes it came from Leon over at Xotix Tropico.

Hi everyone, and Yes, that's me. Skashoon is my nickname. Yes, I did move to China and Yes, I sold all of my bananas. The Pk came from Momoese. As to the issues with the sales of my bananas, I wasn't here to defend myself and I haven't cheated anyone. I just didn't have internet access for quite some time. I will gladly respond to anyone who felt cheated. Let's put this to rest.

I have never posted and am not a member of Smile.com So perhaps those PK photos were from someone else.

I'm presently in Indonesia and probably headed for Thailand soon, or back to China. Those of you who know me, thanks for your support.

How do you like Asia? I am still here in Japan doing my stuff, that is growing bananas for pleasure. I saw some unwise comments about your banana collection but I paid no attention at all. I know you are a good guy and old ladies talk doesn't entertain me. Hope everything is fine with you and welcome back to the forum.

Mauro, my good friend! So nice to see you. Thank you for your kind words. It was surprising how quickly some people jumped to conclusions. Sheesh!

I wanted to go to Japan but couldn't quite afford it. Then the tsunami hit and I was concerned how it affected you. Such a tragedy! I just moved from China to Indonesia, but soon I'll go to Thailand I hope. Indonesia won't issue a work permit to foreigners over 52, so I must move on. I'm hoping to grow bananas again when I get there. I'll try to save up to get to Japan. My first job in China paid very little, just enough to get by.

I often wondered how you were doing. I remember your experiments and I really want to see how they're progressing. I've spent the past few days getting reacquainted with the posts/photos and old friends. It seems I've forgotten so much. This old brain must have a leak.

Feel free to email me or send a PM. I'll be happy to talk more with you.
