I know everyone has their favorite dealers..........

A and B, Wellspring, etc..... I live in South Louisiana and made a recent trip to Stokes Tropicals. Their banana selection is quite impressive. The thing that stood out for me was the size of some of their banana plants. I picked up a Saba and Hua Moa, and both were almost 4' tall and a good inch and a half at the base. Their prices are higher than, say A and B, but you don't have to worry as much about small plants that may or may not make it. Now, some of their plants are small, but many were quite large. They were very accommodating - I think you could call and get them to walk out and give you the size of the plants before you commit to an order. I'm not affiliated with them, just passing along my experience.
