Off the subject (again)...Free to GREAT home

From: "Nyles" metopium at hotmail.com> on 2001.03.18 at 15:09:37(6051) Hello All! I have a variegated Traveler's Palm (Ravenala madagascariensis), the only one that I know of, that I'd like to find a good home for. It's 3 years old, and stands about 4ft tall. It's not that I want to get rid of it, It's just that Tucson Arizona is too borderline to safely raise it as it starts to get large. Bringing it in on cold nights, and during the entire winter is just not going to work. I'd like to see it in a botanical garden of some sort, but am open to any suggestions. All I ask for is a few "pups" when it forms offshoots, and shipping costs. Many thanks!

From: Peter Wunderlin pmdes at iafrica.com> on 2001.03.20 at 03:12:58(6053) Hi Nyles, cant you have the plant tissue cultured?. I am very interested in some seedlings or offshoots. I live in Durban, South Africa and cant import a big one, but tissue cultured plants not a problem. I am looking forward to hear from you.
