Please Help me Identify this "Ice Cream"
So, I figured these were Namwah and got a real Blue Java from a fellow member. However, I still can't ID this thing. I've been using the Crop Diversity's accession listing, and USDATARS catalogs. I don't know how many hours I've spent comparing.
~9ft pstem with blueish tinted, light green bananas. There is some dark green-blue on each fruit's tip and petiol. Some immature fruits are 3-sided, and some are 4-sided. The rack is about a month old. 5 full hands, with one underdeveloped. The hands attach to the peduncle with a pad, unlike bluggoes/ney mannan that attach with a knuckle. The leaves have that mauve line along the margin.
This is from TC. So, I think it might be bigger as it establishes. It has also been through 3 nights of frost with the trunk (6ft at the time) wrapped with frost cloth.
My estimates:
Cacambou (bluggoe type)
Namwah (Fougamou 1)
"Ice Cream" (CIRAD's listing)
Maybe a leaned-out, undeveloped Cardaba?
I though USDA's Dole. However the flowers were different colors.
I'll add more as time goes on.
