Red Banana

[maidu]

here's a description: The Red banana is heartier and slightly sweeter than yellow banana. When ripe, they have maroon/purple skin to almost black, and the flesh is pinkish, or salmon color. The Red banana has a raspberry hint of flavor. It also contains more beta carotene, and vitamin C than the regular yellow banana.

If anyone knows of a source for one or a few sprouts, that's appreciated. I could pay or trade, as I have several unique plants that are found nowhere else in Thailand.

Other plants I'm interested in growning (for backyard, not for commercial):

>>>> kiwi

>>>> cocao

>>>> table grapes, particularly muscat, though am open to any types that might do well in northernmost Thailand.

Hello All, just got back from the Ya Mo Festival downtown Korat, I got 1 red banana plant for

Bt.150. Same Co as I posted before, so the P/N should work if you want to make sure they have them. They should be there till 4/1/12. If you are coming from The Mall(west), you turn R. just past

IT Plaza into the inside of the Moat. They are the last booth R/H side of the road.The moat is to their back, they are where the moat changes to the long fountain/pool.

Down between the front of army base and the RR tracks, on the army side of the road is mango and

coconut trees for sale. Have to go plant some corn, will post some pic of the bananas later.

You know where I am, If you come this way, let me know in advance I'll dig one out.

Or we can put it on the bus.

We have red banana and also have some cacao trees,a friend gave us a few seeds and they all sprouted!They are now about a few inches high and you are welcome to have some.

The only problem is we are located near Cha am and i don't know how to get them to you,if you know of someone who is going south we can arrange something.If you have something to trade that would be fantastic.
