Re: How Harvey packs banana plants for shipping
Mitchel,
You're not supposed to bathe in the fumes! There are multiple products with the "Bayer Powerforce" brand on it. The one I'm referring to (and probably the one Mitchel used) has a tomato and caterpillar on the front: the only active ingredient is Cyfluthrin which is found in a genera of African Chrysanthemums. For more information on the chemical, see PesticideInfo.org - Cyfluthrin.

Re: How Harvey packs banana plants for shipping
Regarding shipping costs:
UPS goes by weight and volume. Small, heavy packages go by weight, while large light packages go by are priced by a computed weight. If a package is large and light, it is priced at a calculated weight for its size. For instance (and these are not actual numbers) a 12" x 12 x 12 box that weighs 10# is $10. But a 12 x 12 x 24 box that weighs 10# would be priced at 15# minimum for $16. Typically, my 12 x 12 x 36 b oxes for bananas is priced by size and computed weight, because a box that size "should" weigh more, but leaves and air are not that heavy.

Re: How Harvey packs banana plants for shipping
Those are the famous naners packed in the video? Cool. Nice, green, no damage.

Re: How Harvey packs banana plants for shipping
Thanks for posting, Tony, I'm glad they arrived in good shape.
The "unknown" is a pup taken from the plant I posted at My Mystery Busy Bee Banana last year. It was a great tasting banana even though it didn't have the chance to size up very well. I'm hopeful it does even better in your climate. If you get fruit next year I'd appreciate it if you'd share some with Jon to see if he can help I.D. the banana. The Belle is a pup from a plant I bought from Jon last June which has grown well for me even though it doesn't look like it will flower very soon. |

Re: How Harvey packs banana plants for shipping
Hello, l have a question about shipping plants to another state. Do live plants have to be certified or any special treatment, shipping from Cali to Arizona? Thanks for your help.
