Default Re: About nurserys that sell Ice Cream...

Hello Andreas!

The fruit shape and color is wrong for true 'Ice Cream' and if you check the unrobe fruit inflorescence,you will notice the fruits have a red band where they meet the stem that attaches the to the penducle(forgot the proper name,I think pedicel?),which is characteristic of Namwah. The Pisang Awak cultivar sold as Ice Cream is certainly different from Dwarf Namwah but I don't know about their cold tolerance differences. The truth is that my 'Misi Luki'(also a Pisang Awak cultivar) seems more affected by cold than my 'Ice Cream'(most probably Pisang Awak too) but I would attribute any such differences to just clone difference as they do seem to be a different clone.
If you want,open a thread at Identification for Gabe(our expert here!) to verify(or not!).

Best regards,
-Konstantinos
