Default Ice Cream Bananas in Hawaii Island?

Hello, I am currently staying on Hawaii Island (big island) and am desperately searching for ice cream bananas that I have always wanted to taste. I tried the Hilo farmers market with no luck, also tried Seaview Farms. I have been lurking this site for some time and am a banana lover. I live in the desert so can't really grow my own. Any tips on where I might be able to find would be much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!!

In the meantime I will keep eating about 15 apple bananas per day!

I have a rack currently hanging, will be some time before they are ready. If you are on the island when they are ready I would love to share.

That is so nice of you! Unfortunately, we have to leave in two days so I don't think we'll be here for your harvest. Thank you for your response! Aloha
