They're all potted up and so far they all look good. The first shipment I got I lost a few, but I think it was too much water in cold temperatures. That was back in the winter.

This time I got Dbl Mahoi and Zebrina in addition to Gros Michel and they all look good but the Gros Michel are somewhat smaller this time. The Dble Mahoia and Zebrina are already putting on lots of growth.

I just took a flashlight out to check the root system on the Gros Michel and some of them are already putting roots out of the bottom of the pot. They have been getting morning sun also.

I feel comfortable that they're ready to ship now, but like I said, they are small. But with the roots they have they'll take off in a few days.
