Hi,

I was also in the nursery of Helton on 22nd Oct., too much shadow. Only normal bananas from the Himalayans, India and Thailand germinated. E. g. Musa laterita, beccarii, microcarpa, sikkimensis, thomsonii, formosana, balbisiana, thomsonii, yunnanensis, mannii and itinerans did germinate and the most of them are now already fruiting and formed large plants.

Now I translated the email from Markku Häkkinen to Portuguese for Helton and forwarded it to Helton and informed him, that he may not throw the seeds away, but he should change the conditions for the seeds after reading the email from Häkkinen.

I hope the email from Häkkinen will help Helton and also many of the members who did not have success in the past.

Best wishes
Joachim
