Re: Hill Banana ("Pahari kela") from India
 

See update at the top of page 1 of this discussion thread. Since Dr. Parmar is not able to provide a phytosanitary certificate, Chong is not able to import this banana since the certificate is required by the USDA. Thanks, Chong, for all of your efforts and patience in this matter!

Has anybody else in the USA been able to import this banana? If so, I'd like to purchase one from you!

Hello fellow banana lovers!

I came across this forum because an acquaintance sent me a link. At the moment I work for a micro-propagation lab that produces Hill Banana via tissue culture and exports them as sterile primary hardened plug plants shipped via air, with a valid phytosanitory certificate.

Is there anyone here that is still interested to know more or purchase from this company? I'd be happy to get in touch.

:2722: Please send me a mail if interested.

Do you have some more details maybe? Exactly what species of hil bananan do you have in micropropagation?

Kind regards,
Remko.
