@PSA - Hi Paul

psa said:I hope to follow up on it.

Please do. I too would be interested - for knowledge sake.

I had a couple of questions....

You talk about flasking, tissue culture etc. Were you doing this on your own or as a job? That is some pretty heady stuff.

I did a few cultures of bananas and ferns, too, until a much more experienced propagator showed me that she could reliably produce thousands of ferns from spore using nothing more than sterile sand and peat.

This sounds interesting. Is there a web site or blog that elaborates?

psa said:Some experimentation showed that bits of banana corm would grow and differentiate on any sterile media with the right nutrition, and didn't need the rigors of classic tissue culture.

That I also find fascinating. Again - is there a place I can learn more?

Don't worry about me stealing yer sekrits and competing against you. I just love to learn and the areas discussed above are certainly fascinating.
