I'd like 3, but not til about March... I always end up killing small TC plants in the winter. In spring it's a different story and they take off well. Maybe if I put them in with the Velutina and other Musa seeds I'll be trying to germinate, they might make it...

Thanks!

Jeff

Hey guys, sorry for lack of update here.
The lab had an unexpected delay with these and they're still not ready.
Perhaps a couple more months still to wait. I'll get some updated pics of the one I have here posted soon.
I think Sweden is not possible!

Really a beauty... Who would not want to have in his garden? It is a banana to do more of a fade...
