Chantell... i'll be getting my ae ae next month and thats the last for me till next spring.. although i could be tempted if something came along and rubbed me the right way :)

and just for further reference, does stokes carry tacca? i hear they do exceptionally well in greenhouse atmosphere... hope that is truly the case

Welcome Chantell!!!:
Just a feeback for you to bring it up at Stokes Tropicals. I discussed this on another topic earlier on this month.
Stokes Tropicals was the website I learned about the strange varieties of bananas about 6-7 years ago. All of a sudden the website, in terms of bananas came up to just a couple common banana varieties and that was it, and that was years before the hurricanes that hit that area not long ago. I just visited the website and apparently they seem to be picking-up again. Tell them to bring the "nanners" up!!!, also try new rare varieties on the bay, like sprouting seeded species. I find a lot of seeds from the more rarer varieties on the bay, but almost no place have the live plants for sale. I can assure you they will get good business out of sprouting those seeds from rarer varieties and have the live plants for sale. Just my 2 cents and welcome again!!!

Chantell,

do you tissue culture any of your banana plants or do you exclusively rely on agristarts?

Red Thai, AEAE, and ensete superbum are of interest. I'd also like to see musa ingens.

I second jeffreyp, specially on the ingens one, which is so hard to get.
Also a couple more:
1. Ensete glaucum. I haven't seen one for sale in a while.
2. Musa maclayi
3. Musa monticola
4. Musa jackeyi(extremely hard to get), native of Australia.

I think that's all for now.

Thanks again,
Carlos
