My friend James is going to PNG next week. He is sharp biologically (marine bio and great home brew) but inexperienced in banana growing. He will look for the jelly bananas. Is there anything we can do to help him find the fruit, then the plant, and get back with something that we can grow?

If we get just one, I suggest we entrust it to Gabe for that first generation. If two, I will be glad to try, but if someone is better with possibly fragile plant life I'll let them grow it up.

Navigation - Which PNG freeway and which exit number? Which convenience store / gas station? [sarcasm off] I have heard that getting around there is like telling someone to walk from (our local example) Wahiawa to Kahana. But any clues might help. We have to accept that the odds of him getting to the right village / tribe are a million to one, and getting out to the growing area and getting a few pups, and getting them to here are even less.

What should he know about import / export type things?

Pup transport?
