I think we agree here, Kathy. I hope you didn't feel that you were accused of being unfriendly. If I have all the banana mats I want and I have a mat that has 10 suckers and you want to cut off 6 for yourself, you will be doing me a favour. I shouldn't charge you for that. If I am throwing away plant material and you come along and ask for it, I would give it to you. People have given me many plants in many places, but not so much in Hawaii. I have happily paid for difficult to obtain plant material and charged for it too, when selling. I don't think it is unfriendly to charge a lot for a very difficult to obtain bamboo. I don't know much about bamboo propagation. Is it expensive because it is difficult to propagate, or difficult or illegal to ship propagation material from its native region?
