never bought from them but imo the best way to tell if it's a quality seller is click on the profiles of the people that leave reviews and see if they are real people.

Seems like they are quality

Seems like they are legit
I don’t understand why they aren’t posting pictures of the plants for sale on Etsy.
Something tells me they must be hiding something?
How can you patent a fruit that’s been in cultivation for thousands of years? Do they have a better strain?

well they offer etsy protection so from a monetary standpoint you have no risk, worst case scenario you open a ticket and get a full refund

but yeah I agree their website looks dumb for their target audience, they're trying to market it toward instagram and coming off as very cringey. They're playing into average people reading it and being like 'woah we can only get this fruit here' when really you can only get that variety for sure

I agree. There are better ways to get this plant.

Don't think they've patented the plant - they just have a trademark for the word 'Dragon' in reference to the fruit.

I'm also not sure why you would buy two plants from them for $95 when you can get 10 seeds for $7 off Etsy.

I messaged the seller and they responded in 15 minutes, the TM seems to a bad faith marketing tactic.

Me:
'Hi, can you explain what this TM talk is for? Do you have a patented variety? Thanks!'

Jerry Black:
'Hi. Trademarks are selected varieties.. Not patented. Thank you.'
