So this was Ty Ty you visited? No photos of babes and goofy guys???
Too bad it was such a disappointment!

Hey Ron, I wasn't involved but it shows what good character you have to put all this effort in and stand up for what's right when you realized what was up. I wish I had a tx star to send you. Good luck with your newest plant.

No one knows why Ty Ty is still in business. Ron, hats off to you for trying.
There was no profit for you Ron. When I ship plants, I charge them postage and "whatever you want to throw in for handeling"... even $2.00 is nice for the "thought"! It's getting a box, packing, driving to PO etc. One time it took me 4 hours from start to finish on shipping a large plant! But, it was a trade.

I had considered buying a corM there very recently. The thing that changed my mind was their so-called Dwarf Jamaican Red. Take a look at the picture, it looks more like a Red Ensette to me. The second most discouraging fact about these fly-by-night banana resellers is that nearly all them must come from a place in Pennslyvania where cameras are forsaken. Seriously, how can anyone sell something that they cant promote from a photo of their own product? I won't buy anything on eBay without a photo to support the sellers claims; and what's really a kick in the pants is that most of Bananas.org members have albums upon albums of proof that their bananas exist, AND THEY"RE NOT EVEN IN THE BUSINESS!
I thought for a minute I might have found a good deal on a dwf Jamaican through eBay. The seller (get this) had listed for a "Thai Black," but the photo in the listing showed a dwf Jamaican. Thought about buying it anyway because a Thai Black would be cool, but then if it actually turned out to be the dwf Jamaican in the picture, well, than even better!
Today I was in HD, and they had some beautiful large Red Ensettes, Cavs, Basjoos, and what was tagged Ice Cream. Well the Basjoos were dead-on but the Ice Cream was definitely a Basjoo too. I plucked the tag off that sucka cause I'd want someone to do the same for me before I wasted $35.
Hoohaa.

Why can't you post the pictures? I think many of us would be interested in seeing, and simply the pictures do you denote your like or dislike for the company. It's neutral, I'd say, unless it is in the Bananas.org rules.

So there really is only few California Golds out there and even less Texas Stars? Man, and considering that they are the hardiest.
Well, sometimes, somehow, somewhere... I will have them both! ;)
Well said Ron. We know who you mean anyway.

i could do what these people are doing..just sell the 10 banana varieties that i have and rename them. too bad i have morals.
Nah, too many names for the varieties we know already, it's enough just to choose one that people do not know. :D

I bought several banana plants from Ty Ty. They were advertised as "Texas Star". After reading this blog I am wondering what I have. What I am looking for is a banana that will grow in Central Tx. (Temple Tx.) that has good eating qualities. Is there such a banana Plant and who sells it. I have two years invested in my plants and don't want to waste any more time.
I have no problem digging them up and adding them to the compost pile.
So anyone in here who can recommend a cold hardy, good eating banana, your assistance would be greately appreciated.

I ordered a Texas Star T/C and I know the pot makes a difference in growing or in the ground or my Goldfingers wouldn't be 3 times biggger other wise. :^)
