Yeah for sure.
Our state restricts who can buy & sell banana plants. It's also extremely hard, time consuming & costly to import new varieties.
It's not often you find someone selling these uncommon varieties to the public but I always keep my eye out.
In a year or 2 I'll hopefully be able to propogate from these plants & maybe taste their fruit.
Wow I had no idea, that’s so wild. Sounds like you scored, nothing better than being able to literally taste the fruits of your labor.
I have a meyer lemon tree and an orange tree which existed when we moved in. So nice to have an endless amount of fruit on deck. Started an avocado tree from a pit a few years ago…just last week I grafted it with a branch from a producing plant. Hoping to have some avos in maybe 5 years haha. Gotta maintain that low time preference and enjoy the process. 🤙
It's such a trip when you think about it. 30 mins work + a couple of years of care & you have a plant that makes free food for you. From that plant you can multiply it many times over.
I'm done buying avocado plants. Ironically the most recent 2-3 I've bought are actually doing quite well. The other 5 have I've bought, died slowly over a decade. I've a feeling my new ones (yet to sprout) will quickly overtake them in size. It'll be interesting to watch.
As a Bitcoiner I find real value in taking seeds & cuttings to propogate new plants at very little cost. It feels very open source to me.
Low time preference is a must. All it takes is a seed, some work & linear time. It kind of applies to most things in life. You've gotta trust the process & plant lots of seeds.

Well said, brother 🔥
