I hope you can find one.
Every time I see banana plants in homedepot or lowes, I never see specific name; just banana. I'd walk around the bananas they sell, and its disappointing that they don't even know what type when I ask. So I give up buying bananas at home depot/lowes. I'll stick with online, although I just recently heard that the gov gonna try to impose tax with online purchase; don't know how they'll do that though.

Ya, I like Orinoco too; they do well here in North Texas. I've got couple growing, and hopefully I'll get more from the mom next summer; I don't mind giving if I get plenty more pups next summer.
