Far from being an expert, for $3 I'd take a chance on what I was buying but that extra $3.49 (plus tax) turned me off.


If the plant doesn't have a label then don't buy it.

If you look closely at the pics below you can see that each plant has a tough plastic label wrapped around the p-stem all of the banana plants I've seen maybe 100 at four different Lowes are from the same distributor Dewar Nurseries they have the same label design and colorful pots.

If you're uncertain which banana plants to buy then maybe you should buy plants from bananimal and Abnshrek I've heard they sell fat sword suckers.
