you know what ..im glad you brought this incidence up. when you order a "cold hardy banana" from these people they will call orinoco or rajapuri texas star... it really dosent matter. they call dwarf cavendish carolina king or carolina queen..
i know a few people may get mad at this, but look at their video where they are standing under a rajapuri in the summer with fruit and flower hanging from it. they are dressed in winter clothes and they are pretending to warm their hands.. i think the text reads texas star?
it really makes my head hurt to even decide whether orinoco or rajapuri is texas star... maybe whatever is in closest reach??
ok lets say they got the rajapuri or whatever from where they say they got it from and its hardier than regular rajapuri. how do they prevent the tx star from being mixed with the regular rajapuri?? especially since i went to get tx star for members here i was told by an employee, that everything was mixed up and the guy who did it went on a fishing trip... i even asked if he left a planting chart. he said no. i left in a heartbeat after that.
i have spoken to the people on the phone several times. face to face a few times..i have seen what they have in person. they are businessmen/profiteers first . they wanted me to pay $200 for one of their larger unknown corms... all of them are cold hardy sir... buyer beware.
