Seems funny, that so many people hate that company and for you, no disappointment so far. Intriguing.  |
Hello Jack,
Texas Star was coined by Ty Ty Nursery(TTN) in Ty Ty, Georgia. Obviously, they are the only ones who have "Texas Star" because they're the ones who named that banana. Whether or not it is, in fact, the same as another banana is subject to conjecture by many. Other sources may be from previous customers who bought their plants from TTN. I have found some in the internet, but their posts have been several years before I found them, and either they no longer have their email addresses, or they just do not want to respond. I have found 2 other sources, but as I reported earlier, one was bogus, and the other is still unconfirmed. So, until they can produce the fruit, there is no telling whether they are the same Texas Star.
I have just obtained one CA Gold and one CA Hardy.
No, I don't think it's funny that a lot of people don't like this company because they believe the many people that have given them very bad reviews. So, that is to be expected. Even I, for a long time, did not want to buy from them because of the bad news. But when I saw their prices drop, I could not restrain myself and I ordered. And I was pleasantly vindicated with their service.
