Hi,
I was since my return from Brazil because of my currently job in the justice authority in Hamburg not in the forum, I was too busy with translating seedlists of Frutas Raras and updating my new Brazilian website and also completing the English version.
I also sale seeds from rare Brazilian fruits now! I will work with the goal to receive a visa (permit of residence) for Brazil and to definitely emigrate to Brazil. Currently I'm part time emigrant, only 7 to 8 weeks per year.
On 16th September my Brazilian friend Helton and his wife visited me in Brazil in Lucianópolis and gave me several banana pups, see also my new banana list on my new website!
I got Mysore, FHIA-18, Sao Tomé, Figo, Roxa alias Red, Musa ornata, yunnanensis, balbisiana, sikkimensis Manipur, sikkimensis, Ouro, Pratinha, Maca, 2 Cachos (similar to Double Mahoi), Da Terra, formosana, Velhaca and some other. I hope, that they all are now growing on. I will return to Brazi in the next 2 weeks and celebrate there the Christmas Days and New Year in Brazil, I hate dark and cold Christmas Days, I need sun and summer during the Christmas Days like e. g. in Florida.
My basjoo in Brazil also is thriving very well. It is raining there very much and at the same hot in the past months and now. It is hot and wet there. Humid tropics! It also has already pups!! I will propagate it soon and give Helton some pups from my basjoo. And also to one Brazilian member from our forum who lives in the south of Brazil.
Sorry, my English version of my banana book is delayed, but I have now several new banana varieties from Brazil, which will be in my new banana book! And I also have a new digicam, which is very much better, 12 megapixels, 1000 pics per fill of the akku, zoom to 10x. My old digicam is not good, problems with loading akkus, they went always too much empty. 12 megapixels and 10x zoom are ideal for pics in my new banana book!!!
I am also building a business with my friend, with Frutas Raras. But sorry, Frutas Raras and I cannot export plants, we do ship only seeds!
But seeds are from rare and very interesting Brazilian fruits! E. g. Eugenia, Rollinia, Annona and more others, suitable also for the mildest parts of the U. K., Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and the southern states of the U.S. e.g. Florida and California, also Hawaii. But also there are some which are hardy enough for colder parts of the U.S., U. K., warmer parts of Canada like Vancouver and Southern Island of New Zealand. Payment is no problem, I do have PayPal, I work with my friend Helton from Frutas Raras together. Payment on my PayPal, after the money arrival I inform Helton by email and he will ship.
The link you see in my signature, please click this on, then you see the German version at first, then you click the English flag, then you see the English version, and click the link "Our plants", then you will find the link to the banana list. The seedlist in English from Frutas Raras you find also there on my page in the English version.l
Best wishes
