Thanx for all the great info, guys. I'm an avid & highly successful bamboo grower (not seller) myself. I've had great luck with Phyllostachys Viridis, Rubromarginata, Khasia, etc. If I had to draw a conclusion from what I've read I'd say:
Nobody's perfect, credential checks have to be a mutual venture to insure accuracy, time is money, & I'm rather impressed with any company that would go this far to resolve conflicts with their purchase agreements.

Working together, with a little time & patience, men have moved mountains.

I would also recall:
Central Florida Farms sold me a Ruby Siam. The order got somehow confused. I spoke with them & worked with them, all quite friendly, to attempt to resolve the problem. I had to wait until the following spring. I was understandably a little annoyed but agreed nonetheless.
The following spring, they sent, not one, but 2 Ruby Siams (with green striping in the leaves!) and a beautiful Silverstreak Ginger. They are healthy & thriving after a full summer here!
Despite their problems, I would easily consider doing business with them again.
