Go Capitals! I don't watch Hockey but my friends do, and many root for the Caps.... so... haha.

Anyway, that Ice Cream isn't Ice Cream! Looks most like a Dwarf Cavendish, but you never really know (until it blooms, most of the time).

Hello and welcome! Thanks for all the awesome shots! It looks like you're off to a super start here at the forum!

Thanks again everyone!

Bob, I may put them out in the ground next year, but I dont technically have a "yard" of my own. as with my old place, here at my new place ( which I love much much better) I do have a "yard" kinda, but its not technically MY yard. Im on the ground floor, and the front of my place faces due south, and it is WELL protected tho, and really, I cant imagine anyone else doing anything with the little yard just outside of my windows. Ive already sort of taken it over. LOL! So far the neighbors LOVE it! We'll see. I like keeping my naners as long as I can so the tender ones I tend to keep in pots, but maybe.. just maybe... Oh, and yeah, I have seen LOTS of things overwintered here in the DC metro, including a red abyssinian, and some Serenoa Repens, which are less hardy than Pindo Palms (Butia Capiatata)!

EDIT:
Taylor, you were right, my bad. I did a quick search of my old postings on here and found THIS THREAD, and now I remember very clearly, when and where I got it. The Ice Cream I bought, did not make it through the frost/ freeze. It was too far away from the building and it froze comepletely. The one in my pics we identified as a Grand Nain. Gosh my memory is REALLY going! How could I forget that? Anyway.. thanks!

Ice Cream has no red on leaves or red/black on pseudostem as yours does.

See here:
Musa Ice Cream (Blue Java - Bananas Wiki)

Regardless, it looks like a healthy plant, along with the Zebrina and the rest of your yard.

Welcome aboard - like Bob, I'm not sure how I missed this the first time round. Must've been in the jungle at the time.

Would you mind terribly if I used your photo of the Maurelii for the upcoming issue of Bananas Quarterly?

Hey there! No, I wouldn't mind at all. In fact Id be honored!

I wish I had a photo of him when he got to be full size. He busted out of the pot he was in, and I put him in the ground, and man it took off! Probably 15' at least. I cut him back and mulched and covered him, but alas he froze anyway when we went down to 9F (very unusually cold for here) last feb.

Thanks!
