Looking for a dwarf namwah pup, hoping for someone to ship to canada but have someone in California who will forward to me if necessary.

sirdoofus

Welcome! I don't have dwarf namwah, so I can't help you there, but good to be in touch with other Canadian enthusiasts. Where in Canada are you?

Im on Vancouver island, so far i have a nice grove of dwarf cavendish in my greenhouse and have a veluntina on its way to me. Id love to yave a blue java but to tall for my greenhouse. What types do you grow and where are you located?

if you follow the link in my sig you can see all that I have.
However shipping to Canada, there are phyto certs that need to be had and that costs money. you said you have someone in California who can forward to you(illegally), but that is your business.

here is my speel:

I will ship to the UK and other countries who use the UK standard(Canada).

HOWEVER there are phytosanitary requirements that need to be done for those countries and then there are other things listed below.

My suggestion is to order a few plants to make it worth your while.
You CANNOT order directly from my website for shipping to the UK or Canada, you have to order from ME. as I have to set up all the fee's and such for shipping to you. This will not happen when ordering form the website.

Setting all this up takes up at least 1/2 day's work for the set up of soil less medium and the inspection from the inspector who comes to my nursery just for your order.

The phyto certificate is 120$(inspection charge) by the inspectors, the setup for shipping is 50$(my charge for the half day of setup for inspection).
Then there is the cost of the plants and shipping.
Shipping for around 6-7 plants is around 90$ express(3-5 days APPROX), but then there's customs you also have to deal with.(time and duties).

Or you can just have your friend forward them to you and hope they don't get caught.

I am also on the island- Comox valley - currently I only have basjoo, Helen’s Hybrid, dwarf Orinoco and E. maurellii. I have considered placing an order with Larry but am kind of waiting to see how I do with the Orinocos. If you ever decide you are interested in placing an order with him, let me know because it might make sense to piggyback and share the costs. Just a thought. Good luck with your quest and glad to know another enthusiastic islander

Just a little fyi for other Canadians wanting banana plants. I had a couple corms shipped bareroot from USA to Canada, the package was held in customs, opened and inspected and was approved for admission into the country. No phyto or import permit required. They are healthy and growing so i potted them up and now have dwarf namwah for my collection

sirdoofus

Just as an FYI, just because customs let it through, doesn't mean they knew what they were letting in. Phytosanitary cert required for all plants imported with intention to grow as per.....

3.2 Phytosanitary Certificate
"A Phytosanitary Certificate is required for all plants for planting entering Canada."

Plants do yes, but not seeds and bulbs. Mine didnt resemble plants, just corms wrapped in paper towel. It was declared as plant bulbs, so i assume they knew. If not well i feel lucky

sirdoofus

Interesting. Well, when/if you have extra pups I am certainly interested in discussing a trade
