Re: Just purchased....
Sandy is a member here on the Org. I got several plants from her late last summer and they were beautiful healthy plants.

Re: Just purchased....
I have seen her around the board, that's why I purchased from her instead of the others, there were sources cheaper than her, but knowing she is one of us makes the 3-5 bucks extra worth it for the simple fact that she knows how picky we can get and from what I have seen and heard, she has good product and customer service.

Re: Just purchased....
OK, I have searched 10+ pages of search results on EBay
Is that exact name of her store?

Re: Just purchased....
I've had nothing but the best experiences buying from Sandy. You can buy direct without going through ebay at Northerntropics.com

Re: Just purchased....
Thanks much for that information Bob. I am searching for more bananas, and want to find a good internet source. Lowes and Home depot usually don't have what I really want.

Re: Just purchased....
Sandy has a lot of good stuff, especially if you like tomatos...I think she carries over 100 different heirloom varieties as well as quite a few varieties of bananas, and she is reasonable to talk to and deal with. Her prices may be a bit more than other "ebayers" but at least with her, you can be assured you are getting the exact plant you ordered, the others just send you whatever they have in front of them.

Re: Just purchased....
Little update...... Sandy shipped plants out this passed monday, arrived at my mom's yesterday! Can't wait till tomorrow to go pick them up and see how they fared the trip!
P.S. I called my mom and had her unpack the 2 plants and give them a little water so they dont get stuffy in the shipping container. Shaggy |

Re: Just purchased....
Fortunately for me, I can visit Sandy's greenhouses in person, as she lives just across town from me. I bought about 10 bananas and several other plants from her a couple of weeks ago. They're always great plants and she gives great service.
