Hi Team: I've been in email contact with Dr. Josef Margraf at TianZi Nature's Product in China. Initially, my sole intent was to acquire healthy corms of Musa xishuangbannensis for personal enjoyment. As our discussions have continued, what both Dr. Margraf and I realize, is that there's opportunity beyond simple retail transactions. Specifically, many of us are extremely excited about growing Musa xishuag., but our desire should consist of more. We should desire to both grow and protect this species.
What I propose is the possibility of our members creating some type of partnership with TianZi to protect the irreplaceable habitat of these bananas, and so many other species, and acquire specimens for our collections. It's a win-win situation, for everyone involved. Specifically now, I just want to solicit everyone for ideas. Talk to me.
