I purchased these two dwarf cavendish from a nursery $26.95 a piece. Is this a decent price, they are 4" across thick at the base and 24"ish-27"ish tall, how old do you think they are? Lowes was selling $18.00 for a 8" , figured it was atleast an ok deal, thoughts?
If it is a super deal, they have about three more left, should I go back and get more?

did you remove the side pup{little one}??age depends on conditions before you purchased..i would say 12 months[my guess]ok price for a HD,Lowes kind of place..for that size plant with shipping might cost just as much from a nursery..smaller are always cheaper,just longer to wait for fruit.so price is relative..and will you have to protect from cold where you live??

Thanks for the info, I did remove the pup it is growing nice, about 12" now. Nah, no cold weather here in southern TX along the coast.

I'd say that's a good price for those. They will probably fruit for you this year.

It is about 7 years old. Hahaha Just Kitten.
Honestly it is probably with in 1 year of age. Nurses do not seem to keep their plants around for a long time.
