More or less the same here. All 5 plants thrive if/when I can get to them. Pisang Raja turned out to be Manzano. Manzano (different transaction) looks like something else. Jury's still it on the Double and Gros Michel.
They have never responded to my messages. Ontheotherhand, the plants ship in a reasonable time and are well packaged. Haven't attempted a replacement, though I'd like a discount on a Blue Java or one of the vines I plan to order from them.
May try a walk up nursery for the Blue Java, though from what I hear on forums, it's likely they are selling Namwa too. 🤷
Drove down to Going Bananas and picked up a Blu Java a few years ago. It died. Mentioned it while talking to Don at an event and he was prepping to replace it until I explained it died from neglect (Tenants).

The package spent 2 weeks bouncing around from post office to post office. The Ensete and whatever I have in this post (we'll call it a Nam Java) did great. My only issue with them is after a few attempts to get a replacement plant I gave up due to zero response. Conversely Ted @ Green Earth sent me a Basjoo that just was hopeless and immediately sent me out a very fine replacement. There's your difference.
