I think it's a bunch of bull malarchy.

As stated on another board:

Well, you did notice that he said his seeds had all sprouted green seedlings? When folks try to get more ae'ae by tissue culture the same thing happens, too. They all come up green. Ae'ae keikis that sprout from the plant are varigated from the first leaf.

If he gets any type of banana seed and sells it as an ae'ae and tells the folks it may take up to a year before they become varigated, he will sell the seeds and the folks will have long forgotten his name by the time they give up hoping for varigated foilage. If they get the banana seeds to sprout at all. (Actually, if he was able to save and sprout banana seeds, more power to him, that's a higher level of dedication than I have.)

Folks have also said that some ae'ae keikis will come up green, too, but so far I haven't seen that happen. I do seem to have two different sizes of ae'ae, though. One reaches about twelve feet and fruits, the other one goes up to sixteen or eighteen feet and fruits. It might just be deeper dirt, I don't know yet. I'm going to take a keiki from each one and plant them next to each other and see what happens.

Well, on the eBay ae'ae seeds, all I can say is "Caveat emptor!" That is one of the very few latin phrases I know and "buyer beware!" is probably quite appropriate.

The chances of him even getting A seed are almost nil. It's a scam.

If this is the same ad from about 2 months ago, and I remember reading it correctly, if you read the whole thing, they crossed an Ae-Ae with something else that made it produce seeds. That's what I was thinking at the time - you don't get seeds from an Ae-Ae.

Nothing I would want to buy.

In my sparetime, I decided to look further into thi,and what I found was;

Someone else had purchased these seeds and never even recieved anything, and got a refund 4 months or so later. AND they left a note on e-bay saying it. It just proves......


BOGUS!

But if yall didn't teach me better.....I would most definately have bought them.
Simple as that.
