Question on bananas of Thailand.

Raules · 12-27-2011, 09:06 PM

All hello! Prompt please on such question. Who knows, where in Thailand the market where it is possible to buy saplings of cultivars of bananas? I know that there their big variety, but I do not know where exactly. And as me the big variety of wild versions in this country interests. I want to visit in the north and to find them as much as possible. I will be glad for the help and councils! Under my information, there very widespread following versions:
-Musa acuminata (malaccensis, microcarpa, siamea, burmannica)
-Musa laterita
-Musa balbisiana
-Musa itinerans
-Musa sikkimensis
-Musa nagensium
-Musa yunnanensis (Along the river Mekong, on border with Burma and Laos).

Try checking the blog Dokmai Dogma. The blog is written by plant scientist of some kind who lives in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. He has a large property where he cultivates numerous interesting plants. You can visit the garden, and I think he'll be able to tell you something about Thai banana species. The garden has a website, Dogmai Garden, I think. The man's name is Erik (or Eric), and he's Swedish. Good luck.

There is a Brit, Mike Anders, living in Thailand. He has been active in another forum discussing
Zingiberales (bananas and relatives) here:

Mike Anders | Unusual Plants Forum - Plant Discussion Board

There is a good chance, that he can help you

His email is:
mikeanders@talk21.com

You can possibly either contact him at this website or his email. If you do, say hello from me. I did
not want to contact him there, as it might constitute "recruiting" him away from that other site.

Sherry, The Hollyberry Lady knows him too.

Best,
Olaf
