Sharing is Caring
Aloha, I have been reading about this forum for a few months now. I feel it is time for a banana story of my own.
Today my wife went to a bee "workshop" at an infested home. The guy practices Intuitive Bee Keeping... meaning he uses very little gear to move & collect bees. Anyway, this property is owned by an old Philippine couple. It is also home to a variety of Fe'i I have been eyeing out every time I drive to work. It is most likely the 'Airui... but finding specimens to dig up is always fun! About a year ago I bravely approached the house & asked to trade a trash can of Vanilla for said keiki. The owner was not home at the time & the man I spoke with could only tell me "No". It was a sad tale. Where does this tie up? The land owner really liked my wife and said we could come any time to harvest keiki. When we went to dig up the plants I didn't realize the plants were so huge. They had naturalized on the hillside & fell down the ditch. The ones down there are nearly 15-18 feet tall and at least two feet around at the base. No way I could dig them out! I would like to take a tape & measure next time we go down. Anyway. Bananas are awesome! And so is being patient. I will try to post some pictures when this site will let me. Mahalo |
