Sometimes, they may have 8-gal sizes, 3 to 4 foot tall plants for $39. Those same plants when Costco has them, they go for $20. Unfortunately, I haven't seen banana plants at Costco in the last couple of years here in the Seattle area. In California, 2-1/2 years ago, I saw those 8-gal sizes for only $15 at Costco.
Wow! The USA is always cheaper than up here. We bought our boat and a camper down there and saved thousands on each. Car and boat dealers do the same and make way too much money from us Canadians. Unfortunately, we can't bring plants across the border or I'd be buying them down there!
