i said in the first post people have been 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 culsulting 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.its maybe how a certain south ga nursery gets their bananas to be so "cold hardy'.
