I agree. If you are going to mail order them, it's not a bad price. Even if you go to Home Depot or Lowe's around my house, you'd pay at least $20 for banana plant -- and that's with the wholesale nursery only being 30 miles away. At the local nursery where they actually know ho to take care of plants (as opposed to Home Depot), you'd pay over $30 for a banana in a 5 gallon pot.
On the other hand, once you have some mats going that need to be thinned, often you can't even find someone to give the pups away to and they just end up in the compost pile!
