yep.. has anyone actually watched any video before commenting?? of course im talking about splicing two corms together.from what i have seen in the videos the guys doing the grafting are simply putting the cut side of two corms together and binding the them together with rope or something hoping they fuse together. its not a complicated procedure,it looks very primative. i would think they are doing this to make one cold hardy more desirable plant.
please do a search for other banana grafting videos using this player when the video is done.. look at the video icons at the bottom of this video after its done playing you may click those as well. there are several like this on youtube and other sites. i said in the first post people have been allegedly doing this for centuries..ive seen people taking a risk and destroy full grown ensettes to see if they could get more pups..i just wanted to know if someone has even tried this out of curiousity?? i read that antonio musa brassavolta allegedly did this in the 1500's he was a consulting physican of several kings. ex: henry vIII francis I charles V leo X and julious ceasar. he also allegedly performed the first tracheotomy..do you think he was just a mad scientist??? it looks simple enough will give it a try.i will use basjoo and whatever. maybe its how a certain south ga nursery gets their bananas to be so "cold hardy'.
since i dont know everything about bananas i cant call this quackery.maybe a banana expert will give us a definate answer?
