Default Re: Lowes Ice Cream banana?

Good chance that any banana you get at a big box store that is not labled Cavendish is wrong. Sometimes your lucky and they will at least call Ensete's "colored banana".
Ice cream bananas are not too easy to get so usually only nice nursuries will have them. Around here I think I would be impressed to see anything other than Cavendish, blood bananas, and Ensetes and the occasional Musa Basjoo.

My ice cream has powedery undersides, closed petioles, and kind of lightish green leaves. Im pretty sure I have a true ice cream banana, but Im always a little paranoid about it!
