Re: Ice cream blue java
Blue Java is a very beautiful plant and a vigorous grower but the taste was disappointing.

In my zone 10b I have eaten fruit that's been dormant for two or three months the fruit is always dry sometimes tough and not as sweet, a taste test should be preformed on a plant that flower to harvest doing the warm months.

Re: Ice cream blue java
Looking thru my banana plants, I found my first pup on the ice cream/namwah. I still don't know what it really is. The person who sold it to me said that the fruit tastes like vanilla ice cream. |

Re: Ice cream blue java
Then it can't be Ice Cream or Namwah

Re: Ice cream blue java
I am not having my hopes high that its an ice cream variety. I would rather it be a namwah, but I am cool with whatever it is.

New suckers that break the surface including Blue Java may have red/pink color until they receive enough sunlight. These are photos of my Namwah notice how they both have different shapes and colors there from the same corm. |

It's the miracle of marketing. Label an exotic name like blue java with the down home comfort name ice cream and heads begin to swoon. Gotta have it, gotta have it, gotta have it!!! |

This is true For me after the first harvest it was more about the blue green fruit, one of the two mats located 20' from the street, when it had fruit it got a lot of attention from people walking by, on bicycles and even cars would slow down. |

Re: Ice cream blue java
I've concluded that Namwah is probably hardier than Ice Cream/Blue Java. Misi Luki Namwah is recovering faster from the cold snap, but both still are alive.

Re: Ice cream blue java
My Namwah and Ice Cream are recovering from our cold snap too. It got down to 62.6 last week, the coldest in a year! Fortunately the low is back around 68-69 again, though I prefer lower :-)

Re: Ice cream blue java
62.6? How cute. We got down to 25 three or four times.
