Musa Basjoo Seller/dealers

canadianplant · 03-03-2010, 07:14 PM

I am looking for a source from the internet, who sells basjoo plants, and are either IN canada, or can ship TO canada. Im slightly tempted to even try seeds, even though ive had horrible luck with that lol

Kevin · 03-03-2010, 11:49 PM

Bamboo World has them Musa Basjoo (Hardy Banana Plant) , but they won't have them in until mid-April. Hawaiian Botanicals has them too.Exotic Plants at Hawaiian Botanicals I'm looking at getting one myself!

Ah that definetly makes sence about bambooworld. April is theyre last frost date. I guess I just have to be patient... damn it lol

THanks

kaczercat · 03-04-2010, 05:24 PM

Heyy Canadian plant, Im somewhat close to you. im in southern ON. my basjoo gave me about 4 pups last year. got mine in 2008 Oct .but i gave them away, and over winter they died

if you can't get one from bamboo world, it says there sold out. I would be happy to send you one when they start to shoot up. should be somewhere late April to early mayy. please let me know what you think.

deruo · 03-04-2010, 09:02 PM

That "sold out" on bamboo worlds site is from last year. Was the same last year. I think I ordered in April or May from them.

I've ordered from them before and had good experiences. Though I did go overboard last year with basjoo and bamboo.

I'm in Toronto. Who or what is shelmerdine?

Scott can you bring plants over the border legally?

I've been contemplating a car trip to Buffalo, but maybe I'll hold off on that until Spring and maybe pick up Banana plants of some (any!) sort that way and try my luck - but I was under the distinct impression that any rooted plants are verboten at the border crossing.

Kevin · 03-05-2010, 12:49 AM

Shelmerdine is a garden centre in Winnipeg.

cedardave - are they open yet? They closed down for a few months, I heard. I'll have to check that out soon. I think I did see some small Dwarf Cavendish there a few months back. Not sure - what are the ones that have the dark splotches on the leaves?

I metioned in my other post that Bamboo World will get their basjoos in in mid-April - I e-mailed them to find out, because I am looking for them too! Now that some people are saying they might have divisions, would anyone in Canada be willing to ship a small one to Winnipeg?

canadianplant · 03-05-2010, 06:00 AM

THanks everyone....
bamboo world is evil...... LOL, that place can make me go broke in a matter of 10 minutes.... lol

Ya I have to wait :S...... It happens..... its probably better for the banana anyways........ I even called my garden shops here... they cant get them in :S So ill wait till april

cedardave · 03-05-2010, 10:07 AM

they opened march 1. no bananas there yet... the ones last year were zebrina, and some dwarf cavendish as well they had merelli.

Scott · 03-05-2010, 10:48 AM

Deruo: I would simply pack them along with the 4 gallons of wine and 12-15 1.75 bottles of the hard stuff.

Kevin · 03-05-2010, 01:05 PM

Smuggling?? Don't all plants need a Phyto to go acrosss the border?

What!?? They had merrillii?? I wish I would have known.

kaczercat · 03-05-2010, 03:41 PM

i only have one banana that i bought in canada the rest like 5 others are bought from members on here and shipped no certificate needed for me. they have never taken more then 9 day to get here and when they ship all they write is gift on the customs card. there have been 2 times where they wrote banana plant on the customs card and still no problem. i guess people dont pay close enough attention. haha oh well im happy

cedardave · 03-05-2010, 05:11 PM

Yup.. they had dozens of merelli... I got 10 of them... Sadly he is having trouble getting any bananas in so far. Maybe some zebrina soon and hopefull they will find some basjoo. I was told there supplier had a crop failure so the plants that were ordered were cancelled. Hopefully they will persist and get some. Sure would save on the shipping..stay tuned. If your not picky about the variety of banana you get try sage gardens on st annes road once they open. Last year they had ornico and zebrina and some others I forget.

Kevin · 03-05-2010, 05:56 PM

I got my Dwarf Orinoco at Sage Garden.

canadianplant · 03-06-2010, 07:08 PM

so I apperantly have to go to winnipeg.... hahahahah JK
