About Bananaswap: Born out of a hobby, I started growing numerous banana species, specialising  predominatly in wild types (after all starting seeds is a big part of the fun, right?) Then everything started really taking off, when I managed to get seeds of a species, which at that time was impossible to get: Musa Ingens. It is native to the highlands of Papua New Guinea, and is the biggest banana plant in the world (10 - 15m height, and 2m circumference at the base), and hence also the biggest herb in existence. Offering seeds of this plant for trading against seeds of other Musa species (or really any other type of tropical plant) allowed me to drasticly increase my collection, build up great contacts and make good friends. I did not have any commercial interests in those seeds, but apart from growing a few myself, I was quite happy trading them for other Musa, Palm or Heliconia seeds. I am also interested in other tropical plants - especially rare ones. The future aim is to source other Banana or Palm species, and to continue interacting with other interested parties by trading seeds and having interesting conversations.
