Anyone know anything about the "Pineapple Banana Plant" I see for sale on the Willis Orchard website?

Their description is...

"The 'Pineapple' Banana Plant grows to 6-7 ft. tall and is a derivative of the 'Raja Puri' Banana Plant but is slightly shorter and has tangier fruit that is reminiscent of pineapple."

I've never heard of such a plant. The Pisang Klotek has a pineapple flavor but is taller than Raja Puri.

Jon, do you say save your money because the company is one you wouldn't trust or the banana variety is nothing new (e.g., really just rajapuri under a different name)?
