Re: Instead of tossing this

I used to leave any roots I could save on my corms until you showed us that you clean them to propagate. Do you use any fungicide at all?

Re: Variegated Mutation in Madeira?

If you want some beautifully variegated bananas and avoid BSV you can buy variegated acuminata banana seeds online.

translation to English for above post by CESARAURELE;

"It seems, according to Pliny, that Alexander brought banana trees back to the Greeks, which were therefore known to the Romans."
