We bought this tree from a local banana enthusiast that had about 30 varieties in his back yard. He seemed very genuine and knowledgeable and was well aware of the store-bought banana mislabeling. He told us a couple times, we'd be one of the few with a true ice cream tree. So, I'm hoping we got what we were looking for.... I was just expecting a blueish hue, but again, I'm a total newbie here so not sure if that happens later or not at all.

Yes, production is done. That is normal. The blueish hue is immediate when the fruit forms. Me and several others think the term “ ice cream banana” shouldn’t ever be used. The Real Deal blue java is actually blue!!! Check out the wiki (fourth blue bar at the top) and find blue java. The obove mentioned “Namwa” also has a slight blue hue. I grow it. How tall is the plant at the crown? Where the fruit stem comes out of the plant. Cheers!!!!!!
