Agristarts is an industry leader for decades. can’t wait to see what ty does in the future
What an amazing place! Thanks for the tour!
This video was totally fascinating! I have often wondered how sterile plants could be reproduced. It’s obvious that agristarts has invested a lot of time and money developing their processes and products. Developing consistent plant material is challenging. Thanks so much for sharing this information.
First time seeing this channel.
At first glance I missed the first T in the name. So glad that first T is there… So glad 😅
True to type clones, right?
There’d be zero genetic variation?
Could you lawfully clone propriety seed/plant?
I worked at a huge greenhouse in Apopka when I was at NCSU for a work study semester. We grew tissue cultured plants…probably theirs. How cool~!
Absolutely stunning, it would be a dream come true to work with a lab/facility of this magnitude specializing in hemp propagation and genetic sourcing. Thank you for sharing this!
I need two Thousand plants of bananas,
if only i could work there. This is awesome, i would have never known something like this exists for plants starts. Thank you for the great content!
So interesting! I love learning about this! Thank you
GEEEZ-Get out of the way of the interviewee-STOP TALKING so much
Now I feel worse about all the plants I’ve killed 😢😂
Thanks for taking us behind the scenes of this aspect of plant raising, so cool
Can share it mail address
My garden is ready for working
Hey! You guys are headed south! I’m in Bradenton/Sarasota…I just had my garden open for two tours. I’ll do a 3rd if you’re headed this way!
You can’t see drift from taking cuttings. That’s just from viruses and viroids and bacteria infecting the plant.
Such a nice guy wonder when royal Hawaiian Colacasia will be available available or is it now available for purchase???? Beautiful!! Thanks!!
WOW! That is amazing!
thanks for insights. Absolutely a good job
I. Had. No. Idea.
Cloning plants !
I made a typo in the beginning of the video. It is Apopka and not Opopka. I spelled it correctly in five other places the same day and missed where it counted 🤣. Thanks for watching!
This lab looks much more comfortable than trudging through the snow in the north to take hardwood cuttings. Great tour and interview.
Jim Putnam, do you still have the corn Stephen Shepherd sent you? Gros Michel
This was very interesting! Plant tissue culture was a part of my responsibilities 15 years ago in a university genetics lab and then later while working in ag discovery lab. It is great to see how far it has come since then.
Agristart has good prices, I’m normally against shilling trash but these guys got me a very nice fig collection for cheap asf.
Great video! You just never know what goes on to bring us these beautiful plants! So interesting to know where Mojito came and that he was able to name it. It is a wonderful plant!
This totally amazes me. I’ve wondered how tissue culture was done! I’m wondering if many hosta are done this way. Thanks, Jim, for doing this video!
use 2 colors
Never knew plants had viruses.
This stutter is killing me. Amazing facility though
I’ve never seen anything like this before. Thanks so much for this information.
Thanks!
Very cool–thank you, Jim! 😊
I just shared this with my Plant Propagation classmates at Oregon State. Really cool!
So nice to see the environmental engineering for sustainability. 🤩🏵🌿🪻
Epic tour! The foundation of the plant industry and the protector of genes!
Very interesting. I’d like to have learned more details in simplified language for non-professionals – needed some inside knowlege to understand what was being discussed. You had a camera on the lady at the workstation taking out plants from a jar – what was she doing? How do they produce so many plants? How is it physically done, step-by-step?
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for this incredible video.
Fascinating!
Fascinating operation, thanks for this!
It’s very interesting and fascinating at the same time.. so much science.. I love it..
Thanks for inviting us along. This channel keeps getting better better
Jim, Pssst. Agri-Starts is in APOPKA (not Opapka, as the title caption 0:19) Great video. Thank you. I always wondered how this company produced its plants.
so much plastic lol
Fascinating! Thanks for showing this side of plant production!
They for sure mixed up a few thousand Namwah and Blue java bananas in the past, woops
Fascinating, as expected! Thanks for sharing Jim.
Okay, this is one of your most fascinating posts yet! Thanks Jim
