Question on bananas of Thailand.

All hello! Prompt please on such question. Who knows, where in Thailand the market where it is possible to buy saplings of cultivars of bananas? I know that there their big variety, but I do not know where exactly. And as me the big variety of wild versions in this country interests. I want to visit in the north and to find them as much as possible. I will be glad for the help and councils! Under my information, there very widespread following versions:
-Musa acuminata (malaccensis, microcarpa, siamea, burmannica)
-Musa laterita
-Musa balbisiana
-Musa itinerans
-Musa sikkimensis
-Musa nagensium
-Musa yunnanensis (Along the river Mekong, on border with Burma and Laos).

Re: Question on bananas of Thailand.

Try checking the blog Dokmai Dogma. The blog is written by plant scientist of some kind who lives in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. He has a large property where he cultivates numerous interesting plants. You can visit the garden, and I think he'll be able to tell you something about Thai banana species. The garden has a website, Dogmai Garden, I think. The man's name is Erik (or Eric), and he's Swedish. Good luck.

Re: Question on bananas of Thailand.

There is a Brit, Mike Anders, living in Thailand. He has been active in another forum discussing
Zingiberales (bananas and relatives) here:

Mike Anders | Unusual Plants Forum - Plant Discussion Board

There is a good chance, that he can help you

His email is:
mikeanders@talk21.com

You can possibly either contact him at this website or his email. If you do, say hello from me. I did
not want to contact him there, as it might constitute "recruiting" him away from that other site.

Sherry, The Hollyberry Lady knows him too.

Best,
Olaf
