Hola,

Let me introduce me briefly. I'm living here in Belgium with my wife. She is Dominican. We almost go back for holidays and family visit to the DR. ( La Romana).

My hobby is growing palm trees and banana plants. I would love to have some seeds from palm trees. But most of all i would love to have some banana puppie - to bring back home ( rulo y platano ). Can somebody give me some information on this ?

Does somebody lives in la Romana, or close, or do relatives have there that can help me?

Would be fantastic.

Thanks !

Doubt you can do it without a lot of hassle. Rulo and Platanos do not grow from seeds, but from little trees that sprout from the mother tree. Anyhow I would imagine customs would give you a hard time if you tried to get those through...

I think there are fines associated if not declared and found.

It is just a chance you take.
