i was simply saying if you cant say where your sport originated,and why you believe its a variation,mutation ,and or improvement then its not proper to rename it,and sell it for profit...look at the double mahoi its a sport of the dwarf cavandish.the person that introduced it told you where it came from and why it differs from its mother,same as goldfinger. dont you think its strange when someone offers a new variety and they cant tell where it came from exactly,and what makes it different besides being able to survive a frost? if the seller only offers superimposed photos and no real photos of their product it makes it more fishy.two years ago i first ordered my banana plant i saw all of these weird varieties being offered,so i really studied before i spent my money.the reason i didnt buy the texas star was because i could not find any information on this thing..some people are real big consumers they like being sold 'new things" and will buy instant toast....then there are people like me. you have to tell me why i should buy your product,especially if i have never heard of it.
i think with some sellers there is too much of same stuff renamed and repackaged. i wont just talk about people from certain south ga nurseries doing it either.
