My Ice Cream is almost 2 years old and fruiting first time now, but it doesn't look blue like yours!.. ??? I am in Arizona, 40 mls west of Phoenix, zone 9b, so fruiting bananas here are not everyday thing. Is it a wrong banana or too much sun and heat?.. I never had bananas in my life. I got 9 varieties of fruiting bananas, and three of them the 2 year old ones are fruiting first time: Ice Cream, Giant Cavendish and Apple. My place is young, we moved here 3 years ago, it was bare land here before. I started my orchard and garden of all tropical fruits I could find or start myself, which will do good and ok here in the sand and desert climate. I always wanted to live in a paradise and have my own fruits and veggies, tastier then the store ones.
