Hi,

yesterday I got a reply from the agricultural ministery of Sao Paulo. I would ship my basjoo pups to Brazil to Lucianópolis from Germany. Also I would order Saba, Praying Hands, Thousand Fingers, Ice Cream and African Rhinohorn from Agristarts and from one banana nursery in Thailand to ship to Brazil. But it's not allowed to ship banana plants and pups from Germany, Thailand and the U.S.A. Probably because of the risk of the banana diseases, Brazil want to protect its banana plantations against diseases from Germany, U.S.A. and Thailand, e. g. against Black Sigatoka, Yellow Sigatoka, nematodes and Panama disease.

But I cannot give up until I have Musa basjoo in Lucianópolis in Brazil in my yard to cross them with sikkimensis, xishuangbannaensis, balbisiana and other Musa species and diploide fruit bananas. Also my friend, he is biologist from Vienna, wants to triploidize the basjoo, sikkimensis and xishuangbannaensis to get hardy fruit bananas which do have edible seedless fruits, also Musa velutina must be triploidized to get seedless edible fruits.

Please help me and look for the sources of Musa basjoo in Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Southern Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná and Santa Catarina) and Uruguay! Thanks in the advance!

Also I already wrote lorax from Bolivia (former in Ecuador) one PN. I hope, he will help me to get basjoos to Brazil.

Dwarf Cavendish I will not ship to Brazil because the Nanica is very similar to Dwarf Cavendish, probably is the name "Nanica" even one alias name for "Dwarf Cavendish". I saw plants with fruits of Nanica in Brazil, without differences from Dwarf Cavendish on Tenerife! Also there is a red banana in Brazil, in the every case I will get pups of this red banana for my yard from Frutas Raras! This major problem is that Frutas Raras does not offer Musa basjoo but it offers 14 banana varietes, all of the banana varietes I will buy at Frutas Raras for my yard in Brazil, Frutas Raras is in Brazil! My friend Jürgen and I plan to work together with Frutas Raras, perhaps we will get visa to live in Brazil forever.

Please help me and try to google sources of Musa basjoo in South America and Brazil in Spanish, English and Portuguese! And try to contact banana friends in Brazil and other countries in South America and reguest them for basjoo pups for me to Brazil. Please write me one email (joachim.jaeck@yahoo.com.br) or PN.

Best thanks for your help in the advance! My project to breed hardy fruitbananas with Musa basjoo may not die! This project might be important for you to get hardy fruit bananas finally for your garden in the cold climate.
