Arrow Looking @ Seller's sources: does anyone know ANYthing about...
Anyone know anything about this company (site below) out of Georgia?
I called and got a guy name Jay. Asked him about reliability that what they sell is indeed x,y, or z. He says they get Bananas from growers as bulbs (I said, "as pups?" He said, 'Yes'). When I inquired about 'guarantee', he said the owner will guarantee... but heck, I don't want to wait to find my "Raja Puri" is x instead.
Would love to know who his 'sources' are, but the kid had already said "the owner..." which told me he wouldn't know. Sounded a bit taken back by my questions.
SO, anyone know ANYthing about them? (below)

'less than satisfactory' ... meaning not good condition, but accurate and alive or not accurate to your order?
(I'm kind of between a rock and hard place trying to get 3 or four types I'm wanting).

A rock & hard place is better than throwing yourself under a bus.. I'm sure your position will soften up come next month..:^)

Yes, the Raja Puri. Also looking for a
  • Dwarf Namwah and
  • Pisang Ceylon (or 'Ceylan', as someone said)

Would love to get my hands on overwintered pups so as to have time on the plant. Would make sense what Abnshrek said ... things will become more available with in the next month or so (?).

I'm willing to pay for shipping and such ...just want to make sure I get the genuine deal on each.
