Darn you got lucky, U got any of them 15 or 25's, I'm willing to drive. haha. I need to find me a source to get some. My local landscapers are pretty chincy cause they like to give them back to the nurseries for small discounts.

Oh m'gosh, is there a way that someone can alert ebay? It has all wrong info including the fert being 3-1-2. I sure hope no one gets suckered into buying it.

I found these in the Agriculture review here in NC. you can search online let me see what I can find I can call the guy to see if he has anymore. I will see if I can find you some. I could use some more myself. as its getting time to order fruit trees for the nursery.

The ad is probably a farse, but could the banana even survive the travel from Thailand to the US?

I would think that even if the xrays and high temperatures didn't kill the corm, the leaves would certainly dry up wouldn't they.
