Milky Way seeds
Well looks like Milky Way produces seeds.
Whether they are viable and true-to-type remains to be seen though....

Re: Milky Way seeds
Cool. Did you hand pollinate them or did they self pollinate?

I tried to get seeds but they were super difficult to get and "Milky Way" is slipping toward extinction. Sending the seeds to me will help me pull "Milky Way" away from extinction....I had raised both musa species and heliconias from seeds for 16 past years. |

Re: Milky Way seeds
With all due respect Mr. Care, I shall state this again, publicly: I do not ship plant germplasm outside the United States whether it is live plant material or seeds.

Re: Milky Way seeds
Are you serious? Hahaha
I have Musa Milky Way. It must not be very extinct. Lol Alemily/Amanda is a very good and nice person! Please stop harassing her or I will report you.

Re: Milky Way seeds
Hi Tytaylor77,
Yes, Thankyou for thought about me. OK, I will leave her alone and do nothing about her., she need be fair to people outside USA. When your musa "Milky Way" fruits ripe and have seeds for me, please PM me. I had been waited for 17 past years for fresh seeds and "Milk Way" were very difficult plants for both people in USA and for people internationally, to look for and to get hold. I had deleted my message toward Amanda. Clinton. Last edited by Clinton3666 : 07-31-2017 at 02:34 AM. |

Re: Milky Way seeds
Is Milky Way the same as Leyte White? If so Sherry Ballester has some seeds and she does ship overseas.

Re: Milky Way seeds
No, Milky Way have pure white bracts while Leyte White had purple tips to white bracts. Leyte White are not cold hardy and for zone 11 and warmer, while Milky Way are cold hardy and can grow outside all the year in zone 8 and zone 9.

Re: Milky Way seeds
Clinton3666: Thank you for deleting your message, we do not tolerate that kind of behavior here, and if it continues you will be banned temporarily. If Amanda does not want to ship seeds to you (she wasn't even offering them for sale), she doesn't have to, and members don't deserve to be publicly denounced for not doing something they don't want to do.
