Default lamaisondubananier reliability

I recently bought several banana pups from :
https://www.lamaisondubananier.com/

Since I have been burned already several times from nurseries selling items which are not what is advertised I am curious.
Has anybody got any any of their banana plants to fruit and verified it was the correct one?
I can't find any feedback neither positive nor negative on this nursery other than their service.

Hi! Yes i buy from them the Musa himalayan fruit and the Musa siam ruby. They are growing well even with a bit of frost (two days this year). And specially the Musa himalayan fruit is growing very well and fast pushing new leaves even now! You can see photos on my thread. So i'm very happy and will buy again from them.

Thanks Luis. I already bought from them several months ago, so I know the quality of the plants.
What I was asking however is if anybody got their plants to produce and verified that it was actually the variety listed.
They are not a new nursery, it's strange nobody made any report of fruiting bananas.

I got a 3m tall musa velutina, a mulberry illinois everbearing that bear only once, a hard shell almond tree which was supposed to have soft shell, an walter hole avocado which is not mexican type(should be mexican).
Not bought from them of course.
A plant may be nice and grow well, but until it produce it's impossible to know what you actually bought.

Default Re: lamaisondubananier reliability

Just found this thread
Bought nothing from them yet but also tempted
I bought from amazona Organics in Germany and it’s the biggest fail of my life
Wasted two years to find out I didn’t get Blue Java but an what must be apple banana
And when I spoke out about it they told me to shut m mouth & now want to sue me.hands down-
This Chinese lady is insane beyond
Ah yes first the wanted me to send back the banana (4m high) sure
And all I wanted was a blue java
They said they wouldn’t have sent the wrong one because they are easy to indicate at the leafs (apple has spots) both bluish powdered trunk
WELL MINE CAME WITHOUT ANY LEAF AND I SHOWED THE PICTURE.
So do not buy there.
Mistakes can happen but this reaction is just out of this world

Luis please let us know how your French experience went
I really wanted a blue and will still find it one day

Hi! I have the best things to say about them. The plants are always great and my best banana trees are from them!
My da jiao (himalayan fruit variety) is from them and it's the only that really survive my winter and grow well without burning to the roots.

I just got one hill banana from Himachal Pradesh (Himalayan Mountain) and one Musa x Fruit that is a cold hardy, fast growing and 2,5m banana variety. Both are from this nursery...
