Heh - after the Garden WatchDog debacle around TyTy's removing their entry from there (what did they have to hide?) and the deplorable BBB record on them, I'd as soon ride down a slide covered with broken glass bare-back as do business with them. So, now we have two people that refute their claims about Texas Star. Poor nanner. That's kinda bad, methinks... What are the chances that it's just a dwarf cavendish or something?
I've had very good luck with the likes of Wellspring Gardens tho. As well as sharing and people like Mitchel. Gonna try AandB Tropicals soon and perhaps Going Bananas...
John, I went to Denton High there too, and took some courses at UNT since it seemed to be a family tradition.
Got a degree from an art school in Phoenix, tho... I live in Comanche now - a tiny spot in the middle of "Over Yonder". It's drier than Mars here these past couple of years, tho the heat is definitely not a "dry heat" - egads. But, my nanners seem to like it. Before long I'll have that tropical jungle here that I've always wanted. Lotsa nanners, figs, tall bamboo, etc...
Be well,
Mike

I leave it outside for the winte last year, it died down to the pot level. It never returned. We are in zone 9, and our lows at that time was only 24 deg F!
