I wouldn't trust the mail or anyone else not freezing a box enroute , but if you are make sure you get delivery confirmation (USPS) that speeds up the mail. :^)

Where from?

Re: Best online sites to buy banana trees/plants?
 

OASIS TROPICAL PLANTS and found a manzano pup on Amazon

Re: Best online sites to buy banana trees/plants?
 

Eeeek. Wishing u luck on your oasis order, I was going to order from them last year when I found out they had most of the cultivars I wanted... until I read the reviews here. They have updated their webpage though so maybe theyve shaped up. Good luck and let us know how/if the package arrives.

Re: Best online sites to buy banana trees/plants?
 

Oh geez.. If they screw you.. take like a man.. I wish you more than just luck.. Might need a miracle yah here, Eh!!.. :^)

Re: Best online sites to buy banana trees/plants?
 

I ordered from Oasis a day before the warning thread was bumped... I wish that thread was stickied with the others... I got my plant in about 15 days, in fair condition... Only time will tell if it is what it is supposed to be...

Re: Best online sites to buy banana trees/plants?
 

15 days, well that's better than most! There's hope Matt! Plus I really want a Raja Puri pup one day ;)

:waving:Hi, I am also from central Jersey. I have been growing banana plants for about five years. I really like dealing with Wellspring Gardens on ebay. Prices are really good and plants are healthy. I've had good success with BLK Thai & Ensete. Now I am trying Dwarf Cavendish. I am also from zone7 Thai & Ensete have a very fast growth rate for our short summer. Ted's is also good but I find more at Wellspring. I will be keeping DC as a houseplant except for summer on the deck.
Good Luck with your plants.

Re: Best online sites to buy banana trees/plants?
 

on Monday they sent an e-mail saying the plants were shipped

Re: Best online sites to buy banana trees/plants?
 

Let me guess... They did not provide a shipping routing number...

or Phytosanitary Certificate :08:

Re: Best online sites to buy banana trees/plants?
 

I think Wellspring has nice prices if you really don't care what you get, but honestly they mix up their bananas too often. I've heard plenty that most TC offering nurseries don't have the real Basjoo, which is a pain for anyone not in zone 9 or better, and of course like anyone else their Ice Cream isn't the real Ice-Cream, their Manzano might not even be so either, as well as many others.

Re: Best online sites to buy banana trees/plants?
 

Yes I got tracking numbers. I will wait it out and see what comes my way:)

Re: Best online sites to buy banana trees/plants?
 

Illia, their basjoos aren't the real basjoos? hmm...that's too bad. Most people might wonder why I would want to grow basjoo in zone 10! LOL The reason is I want to see how fast it grows even when it's "cold" here like in high 40s/low 50s.

Everything I've bought so far as been what I ordered. I bought Basjoo from Ted's greenhouse afew years ago, no problem. I bought from Wellspring,no problem. Maybe I have been lucky. :2722:
