I've seen M. bajsoo at Home Depot 1- and 3-gal sizes. And 1-gal at Lowes. But once it sells out, it can take a while to get it back in stock.

Thanks Unature, I'll look there!
Do you think Lowes and Home Depot can special order these guys?

If you are willing to wait a bit.......I grew some M. sikkimensis from seed 3 years ago. They were a bit hit or miss to germinate but those that made it now have 6-8 ft stems and are have been trying to escape from their winter protection for about a month now (South East UK, down to -9 C). M. sikkimensis appears to be a bit hardier than basjoo, starting into growth faster in spring and mine are now larger than a five year old basjoo in the same position. You can get seed from Chiltern Seeds (they use the synonym M. hookeri) and other seed merchants.

I got my M. sikkimensis at this site.

Going-bananas.com seems a little expensive, but thanks for the feedback cactusfreak.

Did you ever find a banana?

It never occurs to me that basjoo and sikkimensis can be that difficult to locate as they are pretty ubiquitous in nurseries here in Portland.
