Harvey:
I've got the idea from you Via Tony from San Diego and I was able to ship a large banana plant but I had to improvise a bit. I shipped the banana before I saw your vid.
First off, I wrapped the roots with sphagnum moss after I soaked it in az41 mixture and squeezed all the water out. I also soaked the roots with AZ41 mixture for 10 minutes to get rid of fungus and harmful bacteria. Before I soaked the roots, I spray them in full force of the water hose so no soil clung to the roots. I also almost double the length of the box and double the diameter of the box because the pup is much larger than what you had shown on the vid.
I did not want to cut the leaves so I left most of it intact. I wrapped the leaves with newspaper and filled the void with a lot of folded newspapers. Shipping cost was $18.75 FedEx ground 5 day shipment.
But from now on I think am going to stay with the size like yours because it took a lot lot of my time wrapping that big CG pup.
