LOL! That's really your choice. There's a thread where I posted pictures of the plants from both sources. I'll try to post an update. Maybe you can twist Harvey's arm for one of his! I'd offer you one of mine, but out of the five that I ordered, only one survived. But it is doing very well, though. If I weren't expecting a shipment of plants from the Philippines, I would have re-ordered from them again this year. I needed to saved my funds for the anticipated shipment. Unfortunately, I've hit a snag (recently solved) with shipping agents. To make matters worse, most of the pups that were separated in February all had to be replanted because of the delay, and are now in fruit. Most of the pups that they are collecting recently have Bunchy Top Virus, so now the hold is on the pup availability.
I will plan on ordering TX Star again next year in the Spring, because ordering at this time may not give the plants enough time to store enough energy to survive the Winter. I ordered the plants I have about this same time last year, and only the one survived out of five. You won't have nay problems in you area, though.
