damaclese · 03-15-2009, 09:27 AM

don't pay that its ridiculous stay patient in a year or so there will be a sours for Ae Ae Albie it a limited one that you can get thees plants for cheep we are talking under 40$

Taylor · 03-15-2009, 11:22 AM

I have been here since August of 2006, and the price of these has not changed at all. Sometimes you will run across a cheaper one, but basically, that's the price you have to pay...

I don't foresee the price coming down at all in the next few years unless demand decreases due to economy...

damaclese · 03-15-2009, 11:57 AM

well i do since im going to sell them for that!

austinl01 · 03-15-2009, 11:58 AM

Hmmm...I'm going to Maui soon. I wonder if there are guidelines about bringing plants back on the plane. I bet I could get lots of cheap Ae Aes there.

Kylie2x · 03-15-2009, 02:21 PM

Hey!!
You might want to contact one of our very own members..
Martha~ mgmg9495 @ ebay... and see if she has some before you bid.. She has some beautiful healthy plants and she is just dang nice...LOL That is where I got mine as well as many other plants and I could not have been happier with them..

I don't see the prices dropping anytime soon...

Austin If you find one you will probably need to just mail it to yourself or you will have a time getting thru customs... so I hear...

Put me on the list Paulo.

john_ny · 03-15-2009, 04:21 PM

Austin - I don't think you should have a problem bringing them back, provided you comply with regulations. I've been to Hawaii many, many times (around 50) and have brought plants back several times (I don't remember bringing any Musa, though), and there was no problem, if it wasn't something prohibited, and so long as you did what you were supposed to do, like, maybe, washing the soil off the roots, or having the plant sprayed, etc.
Nowadays, almost everyone has a cell phone, or an unlimited long distance plan, so I'd Google Hawaii Dept. of Agriculture, get the number and give 'em a call.

john_ny · 03-15-2009, 04:25 PM

I guess you could also just ask Gabe.

Thanks, John. It's good to know it can be done easily. I'll do just what you recommend!

Patty in Wisc · 03-15-2009, 06:44 PM

134.50 now. Wonder what it will sell for at end tonight.
I brought plants home on a plane (not from Hawaii though). I put one on floor by my feet & once I put one in the overhead. No problem - no complaints.

Bob · 03-15-2009, 06:58 PM

This is a 12" plant!!! Granted it looks like it might be well rooted in that pot. A better deal will come along....IMHO

Patty in Wisc · 03-15-2009, 11:23 PM

SOLD for $152.50.
That's $12.71 per inch LOL

harveyc · 03-16-2009, 12:09 AM

I don't believe the market price for Ae Ae will drop anytime soon unless the U.S. (and/or global) economy just tanks completely and we then devote our resources solely to survival!

As it is, some of our members already give away Ae Ae but the supply from such generous people is never going large enough to meet current demand, IMHO.

Scot got one for well below $100 on eBay only because the seller (also a member here) would not ship the large plant. I have never seen another on eBay go for under $100. I did get one for a little over $100 but most go over $150. I watch them all!

Tog Tan · 03-16-2009, 12:26 AM

So it looks like I am the luckiest 'naner dude on the site with these Ae Ae's. The first 2 which I got as a gift, 1 died cos it was small and got badly crushed by the bigger plants.

Now I am expecting at least another 7 pups from the same chap - as a gift of course. They should be here in the next couple of weeks.

The story is, my friend in Bkk got 1 as a gift and in a short while it became many. He sold quite a few and now he has 15 matured plants with lots of pups. I told him I wanted to buy all the pups he can get but he insisted giving them to me. So I in return, I am giving him all the Variegated Dracaena elliptica I have. Dracaena's are revered as a 'lucky plant' in Thailand. I guess it brought me luck here with the Ae Ae's raining on me.

There shouldn't be any issues bringing them back, especially if you put them in your checked baggage. You can get them inspected at the airport too if you want to be really safe. In talking face to face with a few different plant quarantine inspectors, I'm under the impression that they much appreciate having them inspected but its not required (though the importing state may have separate rules) and airport security doesn't care about plants in the baggage anyways.

And although the laws and regulations are usually seen as overkill and not an issue, its always a good idea to carefully inspect the plants yourself before bring them back. Trust me, you do not want to be bringing Bunchy Top Virus infected aphids back with you to introduce to all of your other banana plants.

Why can't AE AE be cloned by AgriStarts, and sold by the thousands?
