Default Mekong Giant

Who is growing this one? Picked up one yesterday from Plants Delight Nursery for $20.00 no tax it's like 2-3 ft. This is the second time going to there nursery and all the banana pups are always on the skinny side. Pups on my plants in the yard the same size are double or more thickness. First plant I got from them last year Helen's Hybrid has not grown well at all. All there's looked wimpy yesterday. So curious to see if Mekong Giant will grow. Just a heads up if anyone buys from them. They have several acres for test sites,where they have large mats of banana plants and other plants that they never offer for sale. They have large AEAE growing in the same area as last,guy claims they bury them with cages and hay. They survive he claims,don't know how when Raleigh can get to like 9 degrees with snow ice in the winter.
