Default Re: wellspring gardens

I ordered some Manzano from Wellspring a while ago just to have a frame of reference for their service. There was no communication that followed the order confirmation, and I also received my order within two weeks. My shipping container was not abused, however (not Wellspring's fault, IMO, but it would be nice if they can sympathize). The condition of the plant material was slightly better than what you received.

My gut impression of what I received was that Wellspring doesn't move their stock very rapidly. From the packaging to the plant size, everything is consistent with something that was called up from AgriStarts four or five months before and kept sleeved in a crowded rack with limited airflow and minimal fertilizer.

Time will tell if the bananas are identified correctly, but I can't argue too much about the price and service if they are Manzano, especially in light of the other "options" for automated online banana ordering.
