That's the ideal package for me but where can I buy one of those? I have no clue even thinking at Home Depot.
So shipping a bigger banana is not out of the question if I can obtain them.

"To reduce the spread of pests and diseases, soil should usually be removed from banana plants, in my opinion. Small plants without a corm are weak and have little stored energy, so that's a different matter. It's best to ship those in soil-less medium, if pests are a potential problem. "


That's my way of thinking also in case the agrigods obtain a warrant for me.
