I am a very happy man today! I just recieved 96 'naner suckers of 41 Varieties from my pals in Thailand.

Of these;
36 are food cultivars(yummy, 'naner buffet later)
7 Variegated - 2 ea of Var Thai Gold and Musa balbisiana, 1 Kluay Nam Wah Dwarf and 2 Ae Ae (a present from my die hard pal)
12 Siam Ruby (a present again from another mad chap)
I was a little worried they couldn't be shipped out because of the political crisis there, but they made it.
I bought the cultivars from a research station in Bkk. I still have 42 Varieties outstanding as the pups are not ready for removal yet.

How much did I spend? Only about usd$ 390! My friends got the Variegated stuff cheap, like $29 for each one (except the Nam Wah Swarf which was $90).

So the day after tomorrow I will have a happy

time planting them at my nursery with my crazy partner.
Cheers
