By the way, I sent an email to the seller of the AeAe and asked some questions.
It's the second pup of the mother, that came three years ago from Thailand. The mother died this spring. The pup offered in the auction is 32 cm at the pstem (I asked, because the auction description said 50 cm height).

I think, I should move somewhere else, but close to Europe to grow some AeAe and sell them.
Maybe the Canary Islands? The climate is good for nanners, even coconuts grow there. But even the islands are a part of Spain, it's not 100% a member of the EU. You still need a phytosanitary certificate to receive plants from there and because it's also not part of the customs union of the EU-countries you may be charged import duty and VAT - at least shippments will be checked by customs.
But it may still be easier to ship them from there to Europe and also cheaper and faster.
I just received some palms from Tenerife, Canary Islands yesterday which I ordered online and there was no sign of any customs procedure. But greek customs are no good reference for customs of other EU-countries - which is one great advantage for me
