I will be starting a thread on Ladang Musaceae soon.
Ladang = Field, garden or plantation in Malay. Basically it means a plot of land.

I'm learning more Malay each day!
And, maybe during the off-shoot removal and maintenance, possibly offering these pups that have been removed for sale?
Also, I have been pondering a business venture in my neck of the woods/ side of pond. With the economy here the way it is, my city has lost alot of manufacturing companies resulting in large areas of land with large warehouse sized buildings for sale, cheaply I might add. I wanted to buy some of these buildings and go indoors with growing tropical plants, fruit and extremely rare exotics on large scale and sell the fruit to local grociery and gourmet stores and tropical plants to nurseries and department stores, and the extremely rare exotics to local collectors (regardless of economy, we have an enourmous amount of people near here with alot of exhaustible resources). My wife has mixed feelings about doing that but never told me no. I just might have to get some prices and do some calculating on an economical level to see what I will need for startup, how much time I'm going to need to spend daily, end user pricing, and profitability and draw up a plan and see what family members I can enlist short-term to aid me in this venture.
Anyways, something on the level of what you are attempting is awesome, just awesome. I would love keep up with the happenings of your project Tog, sounds very, very interesting!
