Hi!
I`m Pavlina and I`m from Bulgaria.
I wish to find information for Babaco and I want to buy a plant. Unfortunately here, in Bulgaria, don`t have any Babaco yet and I wish so much to have that tree. I want to tell me were I can buy Babaco from. And what is the price?
Please if anyone has information where I can buy or the Carica Pentagona plant for sale has to write in the thread or contact me personal messages.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings!!!

Ahoj Pavlinka, some1 will let you know soon, although I think Richard was involved in growing Babaco, he's from USA.
Welcome to the site and good luck. ;)

Hello Pavlina and welcome to Bananas.org!
The taxonomic name for Babaco is actually Vasconcellea x heilbornii (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?418402). Here is a short article I wrote about the plant last year: Babaco, The Pineapple Papaya (http://www.plantsthatproduce.com/column/PTP_2008_05_Babaco.htm).
At the moment I am working permanent license for shipping plants to Europe. I hope to have it in 2 months. The first shipment under the new licensing will be to Jack Daw, so I'm sure you'll will hear about it then.

Welcome and thank you Pavlina. Babaco is really new fruit for me. :woohoonaner: Can it grow and fruit in the tropics? :lurk:
