Re: Agristarts and Blue Java
My advice would be to cancel the order then ask for a pup in the Banana Plants Wanted area. I don't honestly care about the "special" musas but I would not waste my money and time growing, nurturing, giving space to an overpriced promised plant that turned out to be not what I wanted. But that's me. (BTW, they've been saying they have the "real blue java" for years--why would you trust them now?)

Re: Agristarts and Blue Java
I think it's too late to cancel my order now unfortunately.
I would probably put up a bigger fight if it weren't for the fact that people say that the variety being shipped actually tastes better than the blue java. That being said though, if the plants I receive are the wrong kind, I won't be doing business with them in the future and won't refer people there. |

If you can't do without BJs, do find someone here on the forum with pups. Pricey? I suspect. (It would help if you updated your profile to show where you live--pick up is so much cheaper and advice from neighbors is totally free.) This atypical female who buys garden stuff, tools and kitchen necessities is closing her eyes to those striped bananas that come from variegated plants because I know they're outside of my budget. (Heck, they could taste like paste and they still have me fascinated.) Have fun; I am.

I'm just disappointed that there are unscrupulous sellers like this... Even if more people end up liking the namwah, I still think a spade should be called a spade. |

Many people disparage the taste. I think they are awesome...only when at the peak of ripeness (very small window)...after that too mushy and not good. |

Re: Agristarts and Blue Java
On the phone conversation.. Straight Talk from Walmart...$45 a month, unlimited everything. Pick the right phone and you will get the carrier of your choice. Some are on ATT, Sprint or the one that works everywhere, Verizon. Or for a version with unlimited talk n text but limited internet it's $30. Had it for 6-7 years with zero troubles.
