Re: New Musa species from Vietnam

Re: New Musa species from Vietnam
Yes congratulations Markku!
So there are no wild populations of this plant! Are there any seeds available? |

Re: New Musa species from Vietnam
Cool! Wonder why there are no wild populations left? Did you guys investigate that at all.

Re: New Musa species from Vietnam
Hi,
During the 5-weeks mission one can't search the every corner of the country as Vietnam is huge country. However, we travelled from the very north (China border) to very south (Cambodia border). We had to skip oy some places to study due to very tight schedule. Markku. |
