Review: So far so good ****update at the bottom - I received the plant in good health. Unfortunately, I assumed the instructions was the receipt and potted the plant immediately. After realizing my mystake, I reached out to the seller and they promptly replied with how to proceed from there. I think the plant a little overpriced, but considering there is good and prompt support, the price is a little more reasonable. Hopefully the little sucker continues to grow and makes bananas next year. I won't know until then if these are the rare bananas advertised, but they're definitely not dwarf cavendish plants. I have both now and they're distinctly different. ****Update: the plant has been inside under 2 plant lights for the majority of time since it arrived in the mail. It's been 5 months and winter finally over. It's going in the ground soon. It looks really happy. It's in a 5 gallon container. The pic I posted is from 5 months after it arrived. *******11/11/2022 updated update. The plant is over 15 feet tall and has several pups over 10 feet tall. I don’t expect fruit this year as it’s starting to get cool in zone 9, but it still may 🤞
Review: challenging to keep alive - This was purchased as a gift for my brother who has worked in several plant nurseries for the last decade. At first, he was very excited about the gift. He has 2 other banana trees and was excited for the chance at another. After the first day, the all of the leaves fell off. The plant still had a strong stem and good color it maintained this for another week or so then slowly died. The plant was kept indoors since it was purchased in winter. My brother did his best to save it, but it was a lost cause. I would not recommend this to anyone living outside of where they are grown. It seemed to acclimate poorly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Omg it’s making bananas!
*by T***J on July 6, 2022*

Purchased in spring of 2018 Review on 7/6/2022 I have ordered a lot of banana plants from various sellers but this one is the strongest one and the first one to make bananas!!!! It’s so exciting. I live in grow zone 9a so the plant does stop growing for the winter but it outlasts the cold and wind with ease. We maybe have a total of the frosty nights not much but enough to have taken out other banana plants. But this one grows fast and is very durable. It is currently flowering so I can’t tell you about the taste yet but I am sure it is going to taste amazing. I will try to update this as things progress.
