I'm willing to trade for any other good tasting bananas. Also any of the colder hardy heliconia. I live in Venice, CA zone 10 .... I'm trying heliconia rostrata out. No blooms yet

For bananas, I presently have:
Goldfinger
Java Blue (Icecream)
White Iholena
Red Green
Mysore
Brazilian
AeAe

I hear that Misi Luki is one that I should get.

I have a Misi Luki I'd be willing to part with.
Hua Moa and FHIA 17 also.

Central FL here so mail would be a must.

That would be great !!! Definitely the Misi Luki & FHIA 17 .... I read that Hua Moa's are a little finicky. Have you had good luck with it?
Here is one of the Goldfinger pups I dug up today. My boot is for scale (size 12)

That's a good lookin pup !
Be aware that my Misi Luki is a taller more slender plant so I'll have to chop the top since it's 5ft tall.
This Misi seems to shed old leaves as new ones come, so it never gets mega thick like Cavendish stuff and removing ALL the leaves might really set it back.

I need to desucker the one closest to fruiting so there will be peepers and they may be more cost effective to mail.

Of course everyone likes monster pups.
I'd like 2 of those.

I need to find the camera charger.

oh.. Hua Moa
I just got them from Nick in Pahokee about 2 months back. Nick Has big mature mats of selected commercial varieties producing for him. He has further selected to reflect best performance.
Not a hobby, not a potted pipedream in Ontario (sorry eh!) but FRUIT ON PLANTS.
He said it's good, it came back after cold, the fruit is EXCELLENT cooked green, ripe, or just eaten.
I bought 6ft tall pups chopped at 4ft.
In comparison to 17.... 17 is making leaves at twice the rate.
This makes me think the 17 will bear sooner.

Ive got new fresh big ones of musa x paradicia, i tasted the fruit of it and it was delicious, sweet and not as dry as the store bought bananas. My pups is about 25 inch, so i would really much like to have both goldfinger and iholene if you would like to trade them.

I think it might be easiest to send them when you are in Virginia. I will definitely have Goldfinger, white iholena & java blue ... but I do not have any AeAe available. If you want them sooner I can try to mail them to you country .... but I'm not sure what customs will do with them.

Okey great, im really happy to got that three in my collection, it is definetly on my wanted list, please do not let them away. There was one guy who mailed siam ruby to me and it was no problem but that was just luck, so i think it is more safe to send them while i am in Virginia also because i will be there pretty soon. I would like to have two blue java from you if you got one extra, so safe two for me. So you will just have as many pups from me as you want and i will pay you in between. I will maby have thousund fingers, and definetly dwarf cavendish at that time, we will talk when it becomes more sooner.
