Default Re: Real Ice cream?

Finally managed to get some more pictures. Here's a comparison:

Misi Luki Namwah (almost the same thing as fake Ice Cream)











Blue Java/Ice Cream from Encanto Farms













As you can see, the biggest differences are in growth habit, the petioles, and the leaf margins. Namwah is a much fatter, more open plant, and Ice Cream is very slender and upright. Also note the underside of the newly emerged leaves on Ice Cream. Once yours gets bigger, you should be able to tell the difference. Hope this clears things up.
