The site features bunches of poorly photoshopped pics of models and fruit trees. In the banana page.. If you scroll down, you'll see a banana bunch photoshopped right next to some guy's package in his little yellow swim underwear!! LMAO!!!! The home page had some lady in her bra staring out to nowhere in front of a bowl of persimons. My absolute favorite though...was in the shade trees section. I just checked and they seem to have removed the pic, but it was a picture of some half naked guy with a christmas hat on..in this same pic, there is some sort of leaf photoshopped to cover his croch area.. AND he is smiling and pointing towards that area. Did they get that pic from playgirl or something?? LMAO!! You owe it to yourself to browse this site once, just do as I do and don't take them seriously. They seem to have toned it down a bit, so it may not be quite as rediculous as when I first stumbled on it.
If you want bananas...go to a serious site that focuses on their plants and service as opposed to making their site look more like a brothel than a nursery. - Welcome to Going Bananas of Homestead, Florida! - is my #1 choice. If you want other tropicals as well as bananas...try the pine island nursery(also in FL) - Pine Island Nursery, Tropical fruit trees, akee, all spice, ambarella, annona, avocado, cherry, bay leaf, black pepper, caimito, canistel, carambola, cashew, coconut, coffee, curry leaf, grumichama, guava, jaboticaba, jakfruit, longan, loquat, lychee

Their adds used to be a lot more risque" than they are now. I did order from them couple of years ago spent way more than 200. I bought 3 varieties of Bamboo and I dont even remember how many varieties of bananas. I dont have any of the bananas and I only have 2 of the bamboos and one is not what I ordered. The bananas did not grow for me but that is the first time in years that my old bananas barely grew also. We have been having summer droughts for the last few years and this is not so normal in this area. Now the bananas did not die they just never go over a foot high.
