Bought this 'ice cream' banana from a big box store. It popped the bud about a month ago at 5 feet tall, its second pup also just flowered at 5 feet tall. From all the photo references I see online, an ice cream musa should have a purple/red bud and be much taller, in fact all the so called 'ice creams' that get confused for the same like dwarf namwah/dwarf cavendish/blue java all have a purple/red bud, so any idea what this musa is since the bud is light green? Btw, these photos are of the mom and the pup, I cut off the bud from the mom, the pup still has his bud on.
