Default Re: Ensete ventricosum 'Montbeliardii'

I hate to be "that guy" but everyone plays by the silly rules way to much. If its invasive I understand but other than that I'm sending it over unless someone gives me a good reason not to. "because we want a money for a worthless paper" is not a good enough reason for me to miss out on some cool plants. I have alot of what you would call "UK exclusives" ( just got a sheffie tiawana and a fatsia annelise last week) and I just sent some things over to a few friends. as long as you don't care to lose the money give it a go I do it almost weekly.

as for the montbeliardii I know of one very large one in the US. A good friend has it and its about 12 ft. he has been talking of splitting it to try and get more. I do want one but the size there sold in the UK just makes shipping impossible/not worth it. I feel the same way about DA tree ferns. If it was cost effective id have 20 from the UK.

Good luck on the hunt for one I'll let you know if my friend splits his and gets pups
