Nice collection U got.

Mark Hall · 03-31-2009, 08:00 AM

Nice one Kev. Did you sneak them in or does the wife know about this lot

I shall keep my eye out on ebay for your goodies.

Looks like some of them have bits of green showing on them already.

The dasycarpa sounds interesting....what do you know about it?

well she knows they're here but thankfully she hasn't seen the invoice yet

.

I need to write some descriptions over the weekend and then I'll get some listed. Dasycarpa isn't interesting, it's the Musa formerly known as Velutina!
I just thought we ought to start using what I believe is now the accepted name. Interesting is how the 'newbies' perform over here.

Kev, please tell us more about the first two that you have listed! I haven't even heard of them. Nice-looking collection there.

Edit: OK, just found one link to 'Dhusray', and it is a beast of a fruit! Did a bit more searching on 'Malbhog' and found some useful info. Apparently it is world-famous...but I've never heard of it, lol.

musa_monkey · 04-01-2009, 12:58 PM

Excellent news, look forward to seeing those on ebay as my chini champa seeds still refuse to sprout

SteveW · 04-03-2009, 02:39 PM

They're looking good Kev.
Are you just putting them on ebay or can we deal direct with you like last year mate?
Cheers
Steve

Mark Hall · 04-09-2009, 01:06 PM

Just noticed some large Chini champa corms on eBay

Are these yours Kev?

Look a decent sized corm too.Musa Chini-Champa Corm on eBay, also Tropicals, Plants Seeds Bulbs, Garden Plants, Home Garden (end time 19-Apr-09 18:28:45 BST)

51st state · 04-09-2009, 11:49 PM

Hi Mark

yes, guilty as charged, it's me. Who else would be posting a link to the .org site on his ad?

The corms on all this years are a good size. I'm having to switch to boxes from poster tubes as they're too big.

musa_monkey · 04-24-2009, 10:31 AM

Kev,

It turned up today, excellent corm and pushing out a leaf already many thanks !

harveyc · 04-24-2009, 09:29 PM

Incredible that you didn't get more for these. Are there just so few collectors there that you don't have enough demand to get higher prices? I'd love to try one, especially if I could get it for a price like that!

51st state · 04-29-2009, 05:47 PM

my goodness there's loads of different species and cultivars just been listed on ebay.

If I were looking for some of these I would definitely type in 'Musa Hajaray Corm' perhaps

or save time look at seller ID 'hardybananaplants'

musa_monkey · 04-30-2009, 02:36 AM

Kev,

No need to search, its on my favorites list now

will wander across today, thanks.

harveyc · 04-30-2009, 08:37 AM

I'm tempted, Kev, but don't think they'd make it to me in NorCal.

Dalmatiansoap · 05-01-2009, 06:16 AM

Hey Kev,
wich one is most wind tollerant?

51st state · 05-01-2009, 11:58 AM

I know no more than the ebay description says
