Yeah, he soold two last year and one earlier this week. Before that, he just sold some locally on craigslist and gave some to neighbors. Shawn's brother says he is sure they are not Ice Cream. He has grown many bananas over the past 20 years and says the fruit tastes more like Dwarf Brazilian, but it sure isn't that. FWIW, my Ice Cream died completely in January 2007 with a low of 20F while Dwarf Orinoco and Rajapuri died down to the corm. Shawn reportedly had 18F and his plants did not die, though maybe his swimming pool served as a heat bank.

FYI - the current high bidder is a forum member and another forum member already bid against him. I'm not trying to encourage more bids, there should be plenty more available.
