Mario, we've had other threads to laugh at TyTy's site and photos. They do have a variety called Texas Star widely-reputed to be quite cold hardy which you won't see Don offering at Going-Bananas. Ty Ty is well known for shipping incorrect varieties, etc., but Chong took a chance and seems to have done well here. He also has comments in the Veinte Cohol thread which makes it clear his experience with Going-Bananas was not as good as he would have liked, though it's clear they do have a good reputation. In my opinion, Pine Island is not a very good choice for those that live in areas that require a phytosanitary certificate. The fee there is $50 and Pine Island assesses an additional fee of 50% of the plant cost to clean up the plants so that they will pass inspection. I'd rather look at ridiculous photos than have my money taken from me like that.
