reroutd from this thread:
Getting Triploid Plants for growing Seedless Fruit >>>

And I got this advice, thanks to Mr.Chironex (Scot) >>>

And so I'm here.

My Dear Friends, let me introduce myself.

I'm student of technical unversity in Bratislava, Slovakia. (Central Europe, those who like GPS, here it is: 48°07'03.89"N, 17°08'54.20"E).

I live in a family, maybe now also two generation house and have a quite big garden (considering the city) with orientation on South (E-S-W) with the maximal possible legth of sun day.

Average temperature (in my garden) this summer was about 30°C ( ~86°F)(average, some weeks it was just 34 -37 (93-100~°F) with no water drops in two weeks - amazingly, some of the Alaskan and Siberian fruit managed to survive that).
Winter is much worse, as I live in the mild climate, temperatures can fall to -20°C (~-4°F) in extreme situations, just for comparison, the last winter was very hot, we only went down to -3 (~27°F) for a few weeks and then the spring began. (low temperatures are good for skiing )



So what am I doing here, on this web site wanting to grow fruit I just as well might not be able to keep alive through winter? Wrong, to be honest, I have only seen one tropical plant die in my hands because of freezing to death - Coffea Arabica, which I ordered from one company, but the delivery boy kept it outside the car for a few hours (in -5°C ~23°F, what a charming guy, he didn't even mind the inscription TROPICAL PLANTS, KEEP WARM in English).

Here's my "professional curriculum":
- grown 2 Dwarf Cavendish plants (without even knowing it, then they had fruits (and I found out) and died (fortunately had some pups - 2 I have today))
- also some other tropical plants are in my collection, above others I would mention from seeds grown Palms (yes, hardy palms - Jubaea Chilensis, Butia Capitata, Rhapidophyllum hystrix, ...)
- Some pineapples (ananas comosus, one from seed three from the pineapple leftovers (yes, it grows ))
- citruses (actually 3 grown - 2 tangerines and 1 lemon - not fruiting yet)
- nerium oleander, eucalyptus globulus... other to come to me soon...

I would also like to expand my collection with edible banana, such as that mentioned in the quotes upper. 'Valery...' I would like to grow banana in my garden (for skeptics, yes, it's possible, I've done it a few times with other tropical fruit). Therefore I'm looking for someone in the Europe, best in Central Europe, but the whole Europe is fine as well, who could give/trade/sell me any TRIPLOID cultivar, that produces SEEDLESS EDIBLE FRUIT and/or providing me with information needed to get my hands on it. Any pups will do, I've read so much already, that it surely will survive. I'll cover the shipment.

pm me, or contact at: csokat[at]gmail[dot].com

Greetings from me to all the members.

Hey Jack,

Welcome to the land of backyard edible banana fanatics!

I hope you'll consider something other than Valery, because there are dozens of other varieties that will grow better and taste better in your environment! You might start by checking out Main Page - Bananas Wiki
