Re: Purchased as a pup, nursery labeled it "ice cream" but...
The tissue cultured bananas that are sold as Ice Cream are actually Namwa. If you want a real Blue Java you will have to obtain it locally. Since you are in Florida that should be easy.

Re: Purchased as a pup, nursery labeled it "ice cream" but...
I heard that alot, just wanna label this one correctly when I replant the pups in my food forest. It was sold to me as a Pup (was 3ft tall sword pup). I don't need the blue java, just bugs me not knowing for sure what something is.

Re: Purchased as a pup, nursery labeled it "ice cream" but...
When I saw the fruits I thought, “sweetheart”

Re: Purchased as a pup, nursery labeled it "ice cream" but...
" crown " is about 6.5ft. so would have to be a dwarf variety right? not sure if sweetheart has been dwarfed ever? I do have sweetheart pups from a mature clump of a friend and they were over 10ft. at fruiting

Re: Purchased as a pup, nursery labeled it "ice cream" but...
I've been removing and potting up the pups from this area because it floods to much in summer (almost lost these this past season). I'm moving them to a better area but was hoping to know exactly what I got here before I do so. I have a few varieties to choose from for the remaining spots in the food forest expansion. The leftover varieties will be going to the fence line.
Thanks for all the help already

Re: Purchased as a pup, nursery labeled it "ice cream" but...
Thankyou for the knowledge shared, can't wait to taste them.
Now I gotta figure out what the pups I got from a friend as "sweethearts" really are because they are much skinnier and taller then the fhia-03 specs... lol

Re: Purchased as a pup, nursery labeled it "ice cream" but...
So were ALL of my bananas (i've had the home depot dwarf cavendish for like 4 years now and still never tasted the fruits. almost did a couple years ago but frost got them)
Until I started caring for them properly that is, now they are all growing faster and fruits are filling faster. crazy what a little love can do... I do a deep mulch system with compost, compost tea spray, well water irrigation during dry spells and proper thinning of the mats removing water suckers.

Re: Purchased as a pup, nursery labeled it "ice cream" but...
Filling out, can't wait to taste them.. if good i'll be planting a pup in another location also, if not the greatest it'll just be the single small mat left where it is now.
