And how do we know thee are disease free?  I am not be facetious with that question.  I was looking to import tissue cultured plants - much easier than regular plants and meant to be sterile - but was blocked by plant protection (Bermuda).  They say even the repositories of these plants contain diseases and they will not risk any banana imports to protect the (2) varieties that we do have in the country.

For your purposes I don't think they would be 100% disease free. It's more of a general inspection and they wouldn't ship something that they know has a disease or pests. They have the knowledge and expertise to diagnose these things better than a random ebay seller or something. It's a good place for a backyard grower in the US to purchase from but for export it's another story.

Going Bananas is a great place. If you ever make it to South Florida you should go. I got my Rajapuri there about 17 years ago. Its a small plant about 6-8'. They drive you around in a golf cart and show you the plants and you can pick them out. Back then and probably still are grown in the field and not in pots.
When I went I was looking for the perfect looking plant in the kind that I wanted. I finally found it. He dug it up and then proceded to chop the top off. What???!!!! Why did you do that to my perfect looking plant (leaves)? He explained and then it made sense. I didn't have a clue back then. Now the leaves don't have to be perfect as long as it is a healthy plant. It is still growing in my yard.
