Re: Blue Java,Ice Cream
I'm not totally sure, but I think the big guys that supply home depot and lowes with bananas are getting their liners from Agristarts as well. I've been to Agristarts to pick up orders and sometimes I would see like 2400 D. Cavendish liners going to a nursery. The only outlet for that many plants would be a national chain garden center.

Re: Blue Java,Ice Cream
all of the ones i see being sold here look like this... they are all light green/ sea foam (base color) and have dark mottling on the p- stem.. when someone gives a different description i am kinda skeptical... im not saying there can be no variation.. its just what im familiar with.
there were several stores and nurseries around here selling them at one time. i visted lots of different places and checked the sources. they all seemed to check out. i have never seen any being sold in lowes or home depot.. they have a very unique color.. yep i had the real deal once, but lost it. i will be really careful about replacing it because ive seen people get Cavendish types in place of javas :-0 i learned a long time ago.

Re: Blue Java,Ice Cream
I have been growing Ice Creams for two years and got them from three sources, local nursery, Going Bananas and an online nursery. None had red anywhere on the leaves, rather pale green as really young.

Re: Blue Java,Ice Cream
Mine have a very distinct white powdery underside to the leaves. The color of the leaves is a light green, but not that light.

Re: Blue Java,Ice Cream
Thanks for all the good information. I think I have one or at least it is supposed to be one. When I get home I'll check mine out and see how it measures up.

Re: Blue Java,Ice Cream
What's the difference between regular Ice Cream and HD Ice Cream?

Re: Blue Java,Ice Cream
I just checked mine again and for small pups they all have a very faint red outline on the leaves, but soon it disappears, no red anywhere els and they sure look like the description of IceCream.
Plus I got them from a very good local nursery, Going Bananas and a place that sell Agristart material. So what do you think, that all of them are NamWahs instead of IceCream? None is bought at HD/Lowes... Shoot, if that is the case I need to get me a real IceCream! |
