Aloha Tropicals
Does anyone have any recent experience with buying from Aloha Tropicals? I know some members did not receive what they ordered. Aloha Tropicals is the only nursery I can find that still offers the High Color Mini. What do you guys think? Should I give them a try?
Thanks Kevin |

Re: Aloha Tropicals
Their plants are expensive. I got a Kru and Praying Hands in 2014 and I still don't know if I got the correct plants.

Thankfully, a forum member set me up with Hua Moa and Pitogo. I think that is the only way to help guarantee what you are getting - buy from a forum member who has actually had their plant fruit and verified what it is. |

Re: Aloha Tropicals
Take a couple dice, choose a number between 1 and 12, and roll them. If you're ok with your odds of getting the dice to show the number you picked, by all means order from Aloha Tropicals!

Re: Aloha Tropicals
If you want to roll the dice it's cheaper to buy from Florida Hill. I might have even got the Gros Michel I ordered.
