Hi,

now I risked to take one pup of my Musa basjoo "Sakhalin" to Brazil last February. The German customs on the Frankfurt International Airport were mistrustful and took the pup out of my bag. But the customs officer gave us the pup back and we could took it aboard. But the Brazilian customs didn't look into the bags! What a luck! I planted it out in my new yard in Lucianópolis. 4 weeks later it began to resprout, on the day of the return to Germany I showed Antonio it. So that he know to keep and water it.

Last Friday my wife chatted with his wife Ercilia. She told my wife that the pup is large now! It is now grown on and was probably very quickly.

I will check it in August when I return to Brazil.

When my basjoo does pup in Brazil, then I will propagate to build one little basjoo seed farm and use the basjoo in the hardy fruit banana breeding program.

Best wishes
