Default Re: Ae Ae Banana for sale

See, the thing is, I can completely understand pricing on a plant that is truly "rare", but I have 2 issues with this plant (sort of like Siam Ruby) when you go to certain places in Hawaii and you see them growing by the grove and sell for $10 each like it's no big deal, ya gotta think.. is this really such a big deal? Plus, the fact that this and SR are such finicky, fussy plants, don't we want to move forward with musa and not backward? Seems so interesting that a civilized mind would pay HUNDREDS more for a mutated and genetically deficient plant, isn't it?
