Not in Europe but he ships to Europe at a reasonable price with phitosanitary certificate...

He sells some very rare 'nanas I've never heard of....

I bought from him a Gros Michel.... as soon as it will arrive I'll keep you updated.

Maybe I should mention Home Page and Adenium. King Adenium Thailand Double Flowers Specialty. Someday I`ll be brave enough to order a variegated `nana from there...

Another interesting ebay seller from Germany:
Negozi eBay - Palmen und Exoten, Bananen-Pflanzen, Kunstpflanzen su eBay.it

Just bought a "praying hands" from him.
To me it seems he has fair prices both on plants and on shipping.

Re: Shops, nurseries... in Europe
 
Great list of nurseries you have there! I'm planning on ordering some plants and "Amulree Exotics" seems to be the cheapest especially now when they have 50% off everything. I have had a look at "Achim's Bananen shop" too and they have a huge range of varieties!

So my question is have any of you guys any experience with any of these nurseries?

Also, "Amulree Exotics" writes "Carriage is charged at £18.00 for orders up to £160.00 via an overnight delivery" on their site. Does this really mean that you can order several plants and pay a total shipping cost of £18 and then having the plants at your doorstep by the next day? Or have I got it all wrong? :ha:

The 18 quid delivery charges are for orders within the UK only. You will certainly pay more for shipping to your country. you can always email Simon and ask. He's a nice guy:bananas_b

Does anyone knows a nursery willing to ship a Dwarf Brazilian to Italy ?
So far I've found only "rare bananas" in US but shipping and phytocertificate costs are insane...
I'm searching also a dwarf Namwah.

I want a Dwarf Brazilian, too! I searched all my sources, but so far no luck. I sent also an email request to one of my sources if Dwarf Brazilian will be available soon.
Dwarf Namwah seems also to be not available at the moment. But I have one and if there will be a pup in spring, I could send it to you.

Thanks a lot it would be much apreciated.

I've two friends in Brazil and I could ask them to find one, since it should be common there, but there will be the problem of phytosanitary certificate.... I think they would not know how to get it and without it there is a big chance that it would be confiscated upon arriving in Europe....

I should ask to Thailandplant... maybe he can get it one somewhere.....

I've got a Dwarf Brazilian. It's circa 1.5m high and has one veeery small pup (for Ante) and another coming just right off the ground. Both stopped growing after I repotted the plant in November, but the mother plant continues to proliferate. I'd say it's the lack of daylight that bothers those little babies down below those leaves. I might nourish the next pup after Ante for you guys! Whatdya say?

Re: Shops, nurseries... in Europe
 
I received no positive answers on my quest for a Dwarf Brazilian here in Europe.
But Jack may hopefully be able to supply us with a pup. In autmn I have asked a banana friend in Germany who also owns one, but there were no pups in sight. I might ask for an update, but I doubt that there's already something in sight!
I just checked on my nanas in my greenhouse and all are doing fine, but don't grow very much at the moment. The Dwarf Namwah is about 30 cm at the pstem. It was a small pup last August when I got it. I'll let you know guys.

By the way: My California Gold did better than the much bigger Rajapuri during the cold (both outside in the ground). I'll post some pics soon!

BB73 01-19-2011 05:23 AM

Re: Shops, nurseries... in Europe
 
Found a source!!!!
Exoticgarten in Austria has some Dwarf Brazilians in stock. They sell them for 28 €. More plants are due to arrive in April.
If you check the offer on the website you'll find a lot of rare bananas. I don't know if they're all available now and they haven't published prices yet for most of their offer.
They say on their website, that they don't have pics from all the plants, so there are "example pics" for some cultivars.
And I also hae no idea if they speak English and will ship within Europe, but why shouldn't they. I'll ask them. If they don't speak English, I could help out.
They also have Dw. Namwah!

Yeah that's right, but the €-symbol is a few lines below and if you check out the Saba it says 94 and this definitely can't be the price!:08:

Well.... some seller overprice so much on bananas that it would not be "out of the world" if 94 was EURO !!!!:D

If the prices are that low I will consider to order more than one 'nana......
I was scared I had to ask for a loan with the prices I supposed to read !!! LOL


P.S.
Please , some german speaking guy , tell him to to make some order in his website..... if it was not for BB73 I would have discarded him immediately.

Yeah, do you remember the times of old Italian Lira? It would be like 1 000 000 liras for a banana. :D LOL Ridiculous, yet funny memories of my childhood. If you spit a chewing gum outside, the fine would be like 20 000 000 Lyras. :ha:

If Exoticgarten is not shipping internationally, then Jack would be our man, because they're located about an hour away from Bratislava in Gramatneusiedel in Austria.
But I think they ship, because they're writing about it in the "terms & conditions"...

I'm pretty sure they will.... I don't know how big the autrian market can be, but I think that it does not justify a so specialized shop with all that different cultivars only for them....

I wait for your news

Hi Carlosfv,

I got it from the US and it came from Jeff Earl. I don't remember the price now, but he has auctions on eBay. Spring/early summer is the time he usually sells them. But he doesn't ship outside of the US. I received the plant with a "stopover" and it was resent to me and sneaked through customs. I have been lucky.
But Exoticgarten is claiming to have them for sale here in Europe. I posted the website just a few days ago here in this thread. Even though I own one myself, I asked them, where they got it from, because it must be the first time ever in Europe this variety is for sale in a shop. And it would be good to check if it's the "real thing". So far I got no answer, but it'll be interessting.

I'm growing the California Gold (40 cm stem - still small, but from a good sized corm) outside in the ground, side by side with a Rajapuri. The Cali Gold survived the 7 freezes I had (down to - 3 ° C) so far this winter much better than the Rajapuri. The cigar pushing out of the Cali Gold still shows some green inside the folded leaf. And this part is unprotected. The stem is covered in cloth. The stem of the Rajapuri is also covered, but all leaves have been gone in the second night below 0°. A few days ago I had to cut one third of the Rajapuri's stem, because it didn't look to good. It was about 1,10 m before. Of course there's mulch around the plants.

Ok, I was sick of waiting for exogarten to reply so I bought the Saba from Thailandplant.... and I also bought a Pisang Susu 'cause I was intrigued by the fact that its fruit has the very same nutrition's fact as milk (and it's called milk banana).

Bad news from Thailand....

that's the mail I got few minutes ago:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Riccardo,

I am sorry. Currently there is the laws and regulations of European Customs for the Banana, which I can not ship Banana plant with Phytosantiary Certificate. Please let me know, if you need to get Phytosanitary Certificate. I will refund your money back. I am sorry for your inconvenience.

Best regards,
Surachart

Re: Shops, nurseries... in Europe
 
Is there any chance he misunderstood something you wrote him? Maybe doing a mistype, wanting to write "i can not ship Banana plant without Phyto"? I ask because he then says "please let me know if you need to get a Phyto". Why else would you like to get a Phyto if not to accompany your plants?

I don't think so because I got from him other two packages with Phytosanitary certificate with no problems....

Re: Shops, nurseries... in Europe
 
Maybe he thought you asked to get it without a Phyto this time? Otherwise he might not be able to get a Phyto with EU standards for some unknown reason. You may want to ask him if he might be able to fulfill your order latter this year ;)

Here's what he says on his e-bay auctions:

We can ship this bulb with the Phytosanitary Certificate to worldwide the inspection from your customs ***except Europe. For these kind of plant/bulb(s), for Europe customers, if you can risk to receive it without Phytosanitary Certificate, please contact us(lak_postsale@hotmail.com).

Problem solved !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Riccardo,

This morning I just ask a chief of Export Plant Quarantine Service about the problem of shipping some plants (Banana) to Europe. Good luck! He can allow me ship the plants to Europe with Phytosanitary certificate at a time. So I would ship banana plants to you. I will resend an invoice with PayPal again. That is OK?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Surachart


PS. I think approximately the middle of this year. I will can ship normally some plant to Europe when my nursery have registered and inspected from Export Plant Quarantine Service .
