Well, here is a prime example of TC'ing at its best, or worst!!! Today I stopped by our Lowe's before going to work and found about 20 'Siam Rubys' sitting there in one gallon containers, some with a couple of pups forming, for $12.97 each. Mass production at its best, I guess. One problem, though... They were tagged with a label of Musa 'Zebrina' Blood Banana!!! Growing info states hardiness of zone 8-11, and overall height of 5-7'. Could not for the life of me find where they came from as far as what nursery, so I just bought one and took it home.
Anyone else find any of these at their HD where they live?
