OH ... welcome to the forums.
Dear Edwmax, thank you for your advice. Quite likely you are right that the fruits were red/pinkish then turned greenish/yellow. I will keep an eye to see if there are such bananas so as to compare.

..and thank you for warm welcom. I am delighted to have found this friendly forum.

Best regards,
Jack Leong.

Jack-

You are more than welcome. I am actually in the process of updating all of that info on the website. Very soon, even more information will be posted. It's going to get really cool!

Please call me Doug. I deal with people on a first name basis. It keeps us all the same. Even when I met the President, I called him George (probably seen as disrespectful, but I don't care). He had a first name, I have a first name, and so do you. We are all friends.

No one is above any other. You posted your name and I posted mine. That's how it works. You are Jack and I am Doug.

Once again, welcome to our forums.

Thanks Doug !
I acknowledge and appreciate it very much on what you wrote, your treating everyone on the same level and take me as your friend. You are a cool character, and I like that.

I really look forward to viewing more on the interesting and informative updates of your collections of nature's wonders, and the clear explanations of their distinctive features such as those in the dawn redwoods in your website. I am very interested in these kinds of things.

Thank you again Doug !
Jack.

As I will not get back to the jungle edge which is a few hundred Kilometer away for a while, I will not be able to get its seeds soon. However, I will get back there in a few weeks and hope to get some ripened seeds and find a way to send them to you.

Years ago, when I got my first book contract, someone (and I don't even remember who anymore) told me to never forget who I was, or where I came from. I always made a point to talk to everyone who would stop by for a book signing, as long as they wanted to talk, unless there was a line. Then, I would tell them to hang on and come back when it lightened up and we could continue. Sometimes, I would almost lose my voice, but I would still talk.

A few years later, when I became an actor, I maintained that philosophy. An actor, author or singer, is nothing without those who buy their books, records or movies. Some people, like Bruce Willis, forget that. Most, however, are like Mel Gibson or Michael Rooker, who stop to shake hands and appreciate those who want to talk. I always strive to keep that one-on-one relationship with everybody

Working out final specs today, on setting up an account that allows me to actually update my own website. The one I have was designed by an award-winning designer I was cyberdating back in 2006. When we split, I had no way to get any new info out there.

I have tons of material to get loaded up. Updated pics and so many observations. We even have a "bush dawn," that will never grow any taller than 6-7 feet in height, but with a full spread on the branches. This is only the third example I have seen. The other two are in Canada, and it was thought to be dieback due to cold. Nope, we have one in a Zone 7 that did it on its own. It's a new subspecies that will probably take a hundred years or so to isolate, but once done, we'll have seed!

Hopefully, in the next few months, I can get all the new material loaded up and put out there. Thank you for your interest in the project. It's people like you that keep me going!!!

Dear Doug,
Thank you for writing. Your invaluable time, effort and resources spent on the creation of the Crescent Ridge Dawn Redwoods Preservere and the reforestation of the dawn redwood to North America are truly noble and respectful contributions to our human kind and to the mother Earth. I must salute and thank you on behalf of all those who have not read or are unaware of what you have done for all of us. They all should know and should thank you.
Looking forward to seeing more of your new materials on your noble project on your new website soon.
Cheers,
Jack.
