![]() @ wim - they rotate
![]() ![]() @ Terry - here's the link to the other thread for everyone who needs it Post if getting Musa 'Siam Ruby' from Agri-Starts I think the link from here is good enough. I don't really see the need for a seperate thread, we could just do a list here and everyone can grab the most recent list and add their name to it. Now it'll get confusing! I'm not sure if we should have two threads on this topic stuck, we don't want it too cluttered. I can still merge the threads, though... Like I said, I'm in for at least $20. And now that I know that Agristarts is doing TC on these, I will definately go in on a partial tray when they are available at the typical TC'd banana rate.

![]() the problem with ag. starts is for the next year, 100% those plants are going to one grower. So not until a year from now will those plants be at a slightly more reasonable price.

![]() I want to be in, but not if it's going to Agristarts. I will offer my business license, my greenhouse and my money, but if they are already committed to one grower what would they do for us? just asking.

![]() they wont do anything with us. They alreday have an exclusive contract with one grower. All the plants they produce go to that one grower. And I am sure the price will be artifically high for the next year. Like I have mentioned before we need somone in house to do some tissue culturing for us. There also might be another tissue culture lab that would be willing to do this, probably would have to google for one.

![]() Hi Jeffreyp. How hard is it to do a tc? Any ideas where I could get more info on it? Do you need expensive lab equipment or some dishes and a sterile enviroment? I have a friend who grows mushrooms and has a lot of equipment. Maybe I could start practicing on some of my pups. Then someday...

![]() There's a bunch of links on how to do this on the net, keith benson has a good one on bananas, but he moved the pages to another site. You could send him a private message to find his links.
Here's one that might be helpful for you. http://www.quisqualis.com/tv03tc01p2.html |

![]() Wow thanx!
That link is very helpful and gives me a good idea of what I'm getting myself into. I think my friend has all the equipment to do this! I'll try to get a hold of Keith for his links. Have you ever tried this? Again thank you! __________ D'.

![]() I uploaded a picture of my Musa "Ace of Hearts" to new bananas and to my gallery. There appears to be very little red in the leaves of this immature plant. I would appreciate any of your thoughts on this or more information on this plant. --KW--

![]() The reason it is probably not displaying very much red is because most likely that plant was grown in some kind of greenhouse or filtered light conditions. From a little bit of experience, this plant seems to need full sunlight to really develop the red coloring especially if its a small pup. There's a few different posts on here about this banana but little information is out there.

![]() Hey! Sean,
I believe you are in the wrong thread. The thread for whether you want in or not for the list of recipients of TC'd M. Siam Red is not this one. This is the one: Post if getting Musa 'Siam Ruby' from Agri-Starts Unfortunately, participation on that list is now closed. |

Please check this thread for the progression of this conversation. And Sean, you are already on the list. Posts 23 and 31 (and maybe some others) assured you were in... ![]()
