Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

I imagine this is the wrong time of year for trying to get one or more. Figured I'd give it a shot. I'd like to have one to watch grow while I'm waiting for spring. I bought one off of Amazon but it's not doing anything what so ever since I bought it. The reviews aren't so hot either but figured I'd give it a shot.

I bought a few different bananas from Green Earth co to watch grow till spring lol and they are all putting out new leaves and growing. They are in my bird room where I keep the temp at 70 degrees and bright lights. My big bananas are in an unheated garage for the winter.

where are you located? I have a few in the greenhouse dont like to ship this time of year but if your close to the statesville area of north carolina you could drop by

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

green earth ships nice healthy tissue culture plants but they are all wonder bananas you wonder what they are most are dwarf Cavendish regardless of what you order they are a good choice if the variety dosent matter

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

I have a garage but it's separate from the house and cold enough that water freezes out there. Wasn't sure if that was an option or not.

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

I'm in Kansas unfortunately. :(

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

all bananas do poorly below 60 f basjo is better than most but will stop growing below 60

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

Dave if your desperate I can ship you one for 10.00 plus shipping not sure how they will do shipping this time of year if you want to do this send me a mailing address and I will figure out shipping cost also there is a large commercial green house in the Kansas city area that
some times has various bananas but I dont remember the name my son who lives in belton Missouri took me there once huge place I still have some dwarf Cavendish I purchased there when i talk to him I will get the name for you

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

Also Home depot, Walmart etc. is likely to have them, late spring.

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

Fellas ........you rock..
However......this is a big forum.......now filled with more PR catfish than real folks.

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

It's on it's way. My mailman never showed so I dropped it off in a usps box and it should get picked up this morning.

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

What's the PR part?

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

Please let me know when the money order arrives so I can make sure it isn't lost. :)

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

there on the way Dave should be there Friday or Saturday they were about to large for the box if they dont arrive safe I will replace them this spring I should have plenty of pups by then sent you 1 small Helen, hybrid also there fairly cold hardy

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

Thanks a bunch. I really appreciate it. If they don't arrive safe, it's my fault. Just not a good time of year to try and buy them.

This will give me something to enjoy until spring arrives.

I'll have to look into the Helen hybrid. Sounds interesting.

Thanks again.
David

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

They've arrived! I'll get you another money order out to cover the extra shipping. It's much appreciated. I'll get them planted in some pots in the morning and label the Helen so I don't forget what it is. Thanks again. :)

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

My basjoo mat is large, I dig and give away or sell several pups every year.

I would like another species. This is the first time I have seen mention of Hellen's Highbred. After some internet research, I would be interested in buying a pup or two, come spring.

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

no extra shipping needed hope they do well

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

i should have some this spring but there easy to start from seed try mark Davies seeds in england he is on eBay and sells fresh seed

Re: Wanted Musa Basjoo
 

Mailed it this morning. It's well worth it to have these to tend to while waiting for spring. I'm hoping mine somehow made it through the winter and I'll see shoots, but if not I'll have these to put into pots outdoors and enjoy.

They're doing good. I've got them potted and in a sunny window.
