Yes, be careful if you want to buy seeds of Blue Java online at Ebay or in Brazil at Mercado Livre, it will be a scam because Blue Java alias Ice Cream does not produce seeds, you will get Musa velutina, Musa ornata or Musa balbisiana instead of Ice Cream. It is better to buy corms or pups of Blue Java, so you do have better chances to not get scammed. I got two corms of Blue Java in July from Mercado Livre and potted them in. Now they have sprouted and I will plant them out in the next days or weeks in my chácara, here in Brazil is now spring and raining time.

Best wishes
Joachim
