Hello, my dear Banana friends.

OK, first things first. I'd better explain why I created this new thread.

I'm from Europe (Central Europe to be perfectly precise) and I've been growing bananas for over 4 years now. I got Dwarf Cavendish a looong time ago and already have had some fruit. That's when it got my attention and I started to study the "seedless banana plants" realizing, that there's no known way of getting my hands on triplods like 'Valery'...

So I decided to contact you, because I know there are also some of you who originate or often travel to Europe. Could you please mail me (csokat[at]gmail[dot]com) or pm me - any information you can provide someone from Europe on places, where I could buy TRIPLOID BANANA PLANTS that can usually be found on any large Plantation all over the world.

And I don't only mean Cavendish, but also other species, I like experimenting, but the most important for me is that they are producing seedless fruit that is edible. Just like those we can find in markets, groceries...

To specify -> Central Europe - Slovakia.

Thanks for your help and I hope someone will be able to give me ultimate advice.
