Default Re: Before you buy a variegated banana

In the current auction on ebay for a variegated banana from hawaii,
you could clearly see more than one leaf that had a whole bunch of parts cut out
of it because it burned up. I say why not be honest with people and tell it
like it is. Then if someone still wants to take the risk and spend the cash, they can't
say they were not forwarned. Greed is NOT good. Even in Hawaii they have trouble
growing them. You would think the nurseries there would be able to grow them
to perfection.?? Why is it that all the ones for sale have some burn marks on them
Yet other people claim theirs dont ever burn??? I am more confused than ever now.
All I know is that with our humid spring and fall, they do well. With our
hot dry summers, they burn, no matter how much I water them, or shade them.
THE WHITE PARTS BURN.
