I have stated, time and again, that in the early 90s I used to order from them, but then stopped because they said that the WA Dept of agriculture had been requiring them to send a Phytosanitary certificate. Then recently, I've been reading a lot of bad reviews on them. I had been wanting to order these Texas Star bananas since the 90s but the cost then was pretty steep. When they lowered their price, I was hesitant because of the bad press.

Now, I figured if I use my credit card and if they didn't deliver on time, or if the material they sent was crap, I'd just return them and tell my credit card company that I did. Well, here they are, and they appear to be in good shape, and not tiny either. They gave me bonus plants to boot. The only question now is whether these are true to the variety that I ordered. Based on my score so far, I don't have any reason to believe that they are not. This is not to say that those people who complained about them did not have bad experiences with them, but only that my experience with them so far has been more than fair.
