I ordered an Ice Cream Banana tree from Willis Orchard Co. and they shipped it to me very promptly. It was a very healthy plant, and I put it in the ground immediately. Within three days, I already had two new stalks on it! They kept me informed about the shipment, and they packaged it very securely for the trip. It was a tad expensive, but considering that it is a rare plant, and so healthy, maybe the price was about right. At any rate, I was very happy with Willis!
