Actually - two of them arrived with 2 inches of growth - you just can't see it in the pics.

You are right, bananas are pretty darn hardy, provided they come with either an intact rootsystem, or some decent stores, i.e. lots of corm.

Even with marginal amounts of corm they will survive, but corms like these just leap out of the ground and take off.
