I just bought a banana at Lowes. The label says Icecream but it has red blotches like a DC or Grand Nain.
Can it really be icecream? It has some "icing" on the p-stem but I have bought icecream from 3 different sources before, Going Bananas, online store and a local nursery that is quite good so either all those are wrong or Lowes is wrong.
However I cant resist the challenge so I bought one at Lowes to try out.
This year the winter was nice here in North Texas so I had the following survive the winter in the ground:
2 iceream with P-stem 5+ feet!
1 Dwarf Orinoco p-Stem 4+ feet
1 Saba p-stem 3 feet
and finally
2 icecream from storage in the garage with 5+ p-stem that planted in the ground.
Unfortunately I learned that no Icecream will survive in the garage lying down so my biggest Icecream stored in the garage for the second year in a row at 6+ feet rotted away...
Hopefully I will get at least one to flower. what d you think, when would an icecream flower, 12 months or more or a specific height?
But unless all of the ones I have are Nam Wah the Lowes one is not an icecream. I will post a picture tomorrow.
Anyone else seen this "Icecream" at Lowes?
