My Spring Plant Shopping
I recently did my spring plant shopping. Here are the nurseries I bought from and my experiences as a customer:
First the Banana: I purchased a Grand Nain from Just Fruits and Exotics. Promptly shipped on my requested date and properly packaged. I received a nice looking 3 gallon plant that was 21 inches tall at the crown. They carry several different bananas. I would buy from Just Fruits and Exotics again. Photo below Now the non-banana purchases: I purchased a Lila Avocado and a Carrie Mango from PlantOGram. The avocado was great, but the Mango was not!!! For $108 dollars, I received a 9 and a half inch tall twig in a 3 gallon pot. I contacted customer service to request a replacement, but they refused. I will never buy from PlantOGram again. They also sell bananas, so beware. Photo below I purchased an American Beauty Dragonfruit and a Delight Dragonfruit from Ricardo's Nursery in Long Beach, CA. Great customer service. You can call them and talk to a human. They are very accommodating. Shipped exactly when I requested, and properly packaged. Both plants arrived in great shape. I also purchased two Dragonfruit from Ricardo's Nursery last year and my experience both years was great. My only complaint is that shipping cost more than I would have expected. I would buy from them again. They have a great selection of Dragonfruit, but unfortunately, they don't have bananas. Photo below of this year's two Dragonfruit in the ground. |

Re: My Spring Plant Shopping
Not bad!! :08:
That's a very nice looking banana! It would take a few months to grow one like that from a tissue culture Sorry to hear about that mango though, I'd be upset as well for the price. It's barely a seedling |
