I don't drink. But a nice lemonade will do just fine! Let's say that I might have pups available... 1 is already gone! Someone I know took 2 yesterday and is taking 1 more today. So I've got 34 left and a whole lot coming up!

I separated 1 pup today and it was a lot of work. Roots were tangled so bad that I had to use a spray nozzle to blast the dirt away,so I could see where it was connected to the mother plant. And you separated 35? Wow! I hope they all do well.

Most of them were small though. The trick is to do it when soil is very dry. Way easier that way. But the larger one was a lot of work!!! That one made me sweat!!!

Good work man. That is a lot of pups! I think you just doubled the banana population of Canada!

Lol! Possible! There's still that guy near Toronto I told you about that seems to have a lot of them. I'm will receive 1 musa from him in 2 days. Supposed to be a jamaican ladyfinger. Can't wait!

Seems like I did it like the pros! Exactly how I did it. Nice video by the way. Only difference is that my pup didn't want to come out that easy!!! Nice little plumeria in the vid!

Wow! Thanks! I'd love to have plumeria. I had one like that when I was living in Mauritius. I love those trees. I wasn't giving you nanners to get something back but thanks. Made my day!
