Peter, the lack of cross pollination with a relatively less related tree would be the most optimistic solution. I think your solution is very good, especially that it works for you. Unfortunately, only a part (maybe most but not all) grandiflorum are allogenic:

This complicates matters a little. However, on Piotr's advice, just in case, I will plant additional trees of the same species from different regions. It could help.

Annonaceae did you try (as part of the test) to pollinate them manually?

Hi Fajar, can you add prices please? Regards

Hi Luke,

do you ship sugar cane cuttings worldwide?

Best regards
Dominik

Markinnaples, yes - sometitimes the main problem is with the regulations of the country into which the plants were being imported. But the list of problematic countries is short. Our country do not belong to that short list.

At the moment, I think that the main problem is the US system of legislation, especially for small US exporters  (licensing, postal restrictions, support for large corporations etc). As far as imports are concerned, it may be of relevance to US security, but in the case of exports there is no such link. In fact, the system of these obstructions is completely fatal and harmful to small, family-owned American companies.

Chupa King, you are right, there are many more useful sugar cane species.
At the moment I have few different "industrial" varieties of sugarcane, I'm looking for a variety of heilroom, real black asia (not "fake" from ebay), and a few others, just because they are decorative.

sahai1, exactly, hilo buddha sugar cane is beautiful and worth spreading around the world.

So I'm waiting for someone to offer this species for sale - with shipping worldwide (excluding problematic countries).

Hello. Looking for sugar cane heilroom "hilo buddha" (can be few cuttings with eyelashes or rooted shoots). Does anyone have any for sale. I pay good price 20 USD for each cutting + shipping costs.
Thanks,
Regards

These bananas will grow in a month or two of the rhizomes that they have in the ground, and this farmer can "be relatively" in good shape (compared to other farmers who have nothing left) because it is enough to wait until the plantation is reborn. Worse to old trees that fell over, or unique planting units (where one plant was a disease, help, shadow for another) these can be destroyed as a result of microclimate change. It's a bit of a relief to write that probably in a few months, probably the furthest year, nature (and agriculture) will most likely return to normal. Lots of work ahead of locals. God bless them.

Mother nature's power is difficult to grasp, and the strength of man (despite having such powerful devices and organizations as we do) is weak. If you have thousands or even hundreds of thousands of repairs on your network / power system, roofs of houses, it will take weeks or months for your system / roofs to recover. And the energy system is not the only system to repair.

There is some gradation, that is, first the electricity is restored at the most important points (eg waterworks, hospitals, airports, schools etc), the most important intersections and roads are smoothed.

You can bring some of the most needed things there, but their quantity is limited and their preparation and delivery take time. The same is limited to the number of teams that can get there and help with damage removal (needed on locations and normal stationing on the continent). In the initial phase of the problem it is all about getting to the place (lack of functional reporting system, because it is corrupt, eg people do not have to call and tell that the crossroad is not in the way). That's why it takes a lot of time.

After the first hurricane I had some feedback from friends in this area. After the second no longer. I think they are dealing with home repairs right now, not writing off emails, etc. Who can certainly go to help directly to the place. And who can not go help the place - can always support good words and thoughts. Probably also a good solution is to donate some items or money to help organizations.

Greetings to people from Puerto Rico and other areas affected by the cataclysm. You are not alone. We remember what happened and we are with you (directly or in mind) in these difficult moments.

Hi all. The freshness of the seed you wrote is of course the basis, but there is another matter.

AnnonaMangoLord45, another issue is where you wanted to grow the seeds. It is worth doing on the windowsill at home, or in a special greenhouse. The garage is best for repairing or keeping your car and other things, rather than for sowing seeds.

Quite often people cultivate seeds in places that are not as fit as the bathroom, cellar or garage. There, for example, you will not see the thermal light pulse, which is the seeds needed for proper development.

Dominik

Hi Ryandrake12,
what price?

Regards

Lee - thanks for sharing video. Regards. Dominik

Thank You for photo. In the case of this type of seed or fruit, it often happens that the material received does not survive transport. On the other hand, if the sent material is lively and properly prepared for shipping and next properly treated by grower - then most often everything is ok. Do you provide a guarantee for the seed shipped? Supposedly: if the seeds are dead when theu come to the recipient then how do you solve the situation?

Guidelazeri, how do You protect seeds from drying out? Do You send seeds in moss?

This site you gave Oscar - mostly explains the issue that I was about. Thanks for a professional explanation. There remains a question to clarify whether there is a possibility of receiving the transit permit of this type of material through the Continental States to the destination country. Here are the relevant materials:

https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/resources/permits/sa_plants/ct_ppq_epermits

Have any of you tried to obtain such consent for the export (transit permit) by continental states of particular plants or fruits? How does it look in practice?

Maybe it is as I have written intuitively, it also seems that exports bypassing the Continental States may be allowed. However, any stopover in the US is the risk of getting a high fine - like was written by Oscar. It will be hard to find such a carrier who does not have stopovers in the US, I agree with Oscar - in practice, for all lovers of Hawaii, there is only a short list of fruits allowed in the market

EDIT 15.05.2017

I received a USDA / APHID response from Mrs. Julie Ito.

Conclusions, abstract:

1) These specific fruits (theobroma) can be shipped from Hawaii provided that the shipment is not via the continental US,
2) In case of transit via US continental - you need to have permission
