Packaging a banana plant for shipping.
Here's a video I would like to share with you guys. It shows how to package a banana corm for shipping. This is shipping just the corm, keep in mind that sometimes I ship the entire banana plant, leaves and all.
You can turn the volume OFF as there are no words, nothing but noise. Hope you guys enjoy the video! |

Re: Packaging a banana plant for shipping.
I hope many of you should appreciate that banana corms ship very well, and banana plants do come out of these corms. It may take longer for the bananas to come out from corm. You can tie the corm to a rope and drag it around the block behind your vehicle, and then plant the corm, it will survive.

Re: Packaging a banana plant for shipping.
Jarred, are you shipping dirty corms? I had a talk with another board member about that, and I don't think it's safe. I'd prefer that anyone sending me a plant from out of state really wash and scrub it good. Even with a mild bleach solution would fine with me. I guess I'm a bit paranoid about any out of state soil born bugs or mold/fungus invading my garden and possibly the whole state of California because of me and my need for unusual bananas!
Am I just crazy, or is this something that needs to be addressed? BTW, I think you have the record for fasted banana corm shipper in the bag at the next state fair!

Re: Packaging a banana plant for shipping.
That one would have been way faster, it had a really fat bottom the bag was having a hard time fitting around!
BTW, Pete, I worked in a fish store many years ago and bagged hundreds of thousands fish! I'm a pretty good fish bagger too, if I don't say so myself!   |
