but, ice cream is all he had.

so now, i need one more
hopefully, something a little bigger maybe ?
i know they grow fast, but, would a plant like 2ft grow much faster ?

so now, im thinking of dwarf Brazilian , or , Raja Puri ?
make sense ?
Congrats on your new Blue java! Keep the forums updated with your progress. Ebay can uncover great resources I've found through trial and error.

Also keep in mind that here on Bananas you also have access to nearly every musa variety from members that likely live close to you and sometimes will give bananas away for nearly nothing. It's also great to see full grown stands in person. Albeit, summer is usually a much better time of year for finding local resources.

Btw, I think a 2ft plants would establish more quickly since it has had more time to develop its roots.
