I recently received my Cavendish Dwarf Banana Plant and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The shipping was incredibly fast, and the plant arrived in extremely well-protected packaging, ensuring it was in perfect condition upon arrival.
The customer service has been outstanding throughout the entire process. Every time I reached out with a question, the team responded promptly with valuable, informative answers that truly show their commitment to customer satisfaction.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality plants and exceptional service. I will definitely continue purchasing from them in the future.
YOU R A GREAT COMPANY
Arrived with only one leaf damaged, perfectly packaged, put it in partial shade for 2 days, then moved it to full sun still in container. It has 2 babies near main stalk. Water every other day. DOING GREAT. Will plant it in a few days, as it has already put out big healthy new leaf. EXCELLENT! More than satisfied with the shipping, packaging, health of plant, container packed full with great soil mix. THANK YOU.
Love the Banana Tree, I placed it in a large pot instead of the ground. As stated in the information supplied, it will expand to make more trees. It is already growing a baby banana tree in the surrounding soil. And it already smells like bananas, a clear sign that it will be growing fruit soon!!!
We're very happy with our Cavendish Dwarf Banana Plant. It's growing very quickly and loves the spot my husband picked to plant it. Thank you, Everglades Farm!
