I'm sorry to say, but I highly doubt that they sent you the plants you ordered. Their reviews on Dave's Watch Garden are largely negative.

The scoop on 'The Banana Tree (Banana-Tree.com)'

Also, the fact that they are based in a state where bananas do not grow leads me to be skeptical.

I highly recommend Welcome to Going Bananas of Homestead, Florida!

I've visited the farm and know first hand that they have excellent quality plants and excellent customer service. I can't speak from experience as to how well they handle internet orders, but they have 100% positive feedback on Daves Watchdog.

I've said it before... I wish I had found that watchdog site years ago!

That being said, I'm sure someone on the org has the plants you are looking for and would be happy to send you some baby plants at cost of shipping ...or maybe someone in a nearby state(without restrictions) can buy it for you and ship it from there.

Either way, You should wait to see if you can identify the banana plants you received before you do anything. After all, bananatree has shipped the right orders to some in the past.
Hopefully you have better luck identifying your bananas than I did with mine. As I mentioned earlier, it took a whole year before I was sure my plant was not a manzano.
