stumpy4700 · 09-17-2009, 11:04 PM

Actually she is. I have bought some plants from her and they were very good, but not that expensive

. I can't blame her though because if you watch someone will pay that price for it.

harveyc · 09-18-2009, 12:27 AM

I paid about $200 for my first Ae Ae from Stokes a couple of years ago and was happy to get it. Unfortunately, it died. I had one of my next two also die but the survivor is doing well and a subsequent one I bought is also doing well. It seems that prices might be a bit softer now.

IndianaSue · 09-18-2009, 07:44 AM

I know this lady and she is Fabulous!! A great ebay seller! Has excellent plants. In the past I've gotten quite a bit of things from her..

damaclese · 09-18-2009, 07:52 AM

Lordy shes got some strict shipping policese this is why i only buy and sell to members here we are family and its all good as soon as you go out side the ORG its all up for grabs

some day all have lots of AE AE pups but for now my Ae is just happily growing gigantic leafs i wish i could get it to pup any ideas i tried the high nitrogen thing other then making it grow twice as fast nothin!

they are the most stubborn Musa iv ever had

djmb74 · 09-18-2009, 08:20 AM

Don't worry folks I have 5 up and coming pups from my Ae Ae's... will let you know when they can be weened from their mother! hehe

Velutina · 09-18-2009, 09:21 AM

I remember when Stokes Tropicals was selling Musa basjoo fro $250 each. I waited a year or two and bought a few for $10 a piece. Ae Ae may take a bit longer due to tissue culture issues, but i'll wait for the price to come down before I buy one. I'd much rather have a dark green or red/maroon plant over one with lack of pigmentation. They generally look sick in most situations anyways. They are quite nice when grown in the appropriate climate though

Clare_CA · 09-18-2009, 09:25 AM

I definitely want more of these, but I would never pay that price that she is asking. I had four, but two didn't make it. The remaining two are questionable for now as to whether they will survive. They were small when I got them in the mail. I paid $100 each for them, and I know I paid too much. I won't pay that much again for them. I'll wait until I can find some for around $50 each before I buy them again. I do understand the rules of supply and demand so I don't fault the seller for asking that much. She will probably get what she is asking.

djmb74, I would buy some from you if I can meet your asking price.

Maybe someday I will give it a try. I just have runts right now

LOL but I love them any how.

IndianaSue · 09-18-2009, 03:27 PM

I hope I can afford one of your pups, Martin. We'll have to see when the time comes!

Jananas Bananas · 09-18-2009, 03:32 PM

Martin those 5 pups will go quickly! Are you making a list? If a slot is still open put me down for one!

~JaNan

djmb74 · 09-18-2009, 03:39 PM

nah I don't have a list yet...

They do grow slowly, have other banana plants with pups that just spurt right past the Ae Ae's in growth...

Clare_CA · 09-18-2009, 03:44 PM

I'll start a new thread for my question.

"Proud of it?" I don't get what you mean.

What price of admission does it take to be, "one of us?" Martha IS a member here, she just doesn't hang out to BS, participate in the organic wars, or make a pest of herself. She is a nice lady and sells good plants. I've gotten a few from her.

While people in CA have been finding sub-$50 plants recently, domestic Ae Ae typically has cost $150-$175 for most of last year from commercial places. And if someone wants to pay it...

Recently I saw someone pay $122.50 on eBay for something, an electronic device, claimed new, but out of original packaging. The surprising part: The item was available new and in stock, from the manufacturer for $60-$65 plus a few $ for shipping. Go figure.

Middle 48 states and not in freezing weather. That isn't unreasonable for a tropical plant.

Yeah. That's why I'm not Jonesing for one myself. Fussy. (And my soil is white sugar sand with leftover rock phosphate.) Get tall. (And I have lots of leaf shredding wind.) Frost sensitive. (And I get lows of 25 to 27F)

Sometimes there's a lot to be said for Raja Puri's and Dwarf Orinocos!

Richard · 09-18-2009, 04:15 PM

Not to mention steep pricing. That's a bubble that needs bursting. Maybe next year I'll start offering them at $40 each on my web site.

planetrj · 09-18-2009, 04:46 PM

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?
