Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
Not gonna lie....kinda jealous that you can do that in your area. I only really have 6 months of growing season before things have to get dug up and moved inside. Keep up the good work!

Yes I did. If it turns out to be a tall Namwah, I have a buddy who has a bunch of ice cream keiki. I know his aren't Nawahs due to the plant fruiting multiple times.

Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
Cool. It's the exact same plant that I have. Not sure if IC should have red midribs, but I don't think Namwah has either. We will see soon. Best wishes

Definitely jealous of how quickly you got your plants to bloom. Good work. In my marginal climate for bananas, it takes 1.5 - 2 years for those varieties from newly planted pups. |
Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
Well it appears I'll have to dig up one of my buddy's Ice Cream pups. I'm curious if this is a Namwah. I guess we'll see once the flowers show.

Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
I went to visit this mat of what people here said is probably Ice cream,
http://www.bananas.org/f12/mystery-b...ool-15830.html and the fully grown plants that were about 12-14 feet had no red on the midribs, but the plants that were about 7-8 feet had red midribs, so our plant could still be IC. |

Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
That looks like the real thing to me.

Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
Cheson, yours is the real deal. The fruit are the right color and they have long pedicels.
|
Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
Most definitely an ice cream. Harvest a small bunch myself this week. Wish I could get them that size!
|
Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
Thanks! This plant pups like crazy. I have to thin some out pretty soon. So if anybody lives on Oahu want some, I'll be glad to dig up a few. Free if course.
|
Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
Right on. They are Ice Cream. My plant is pupping like mad also. Time to buy a digging bar.
|
Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
Looks great!
How tall are the p-stems? |
Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
When is the best time to eat these bananas. I just bought a bunch at Foodland Super market. It's the first time that I ever seen them at the super market.

Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
I find the taste to be best when they are overly ripe. They turn yellow then black. When it's a mix of black. If they are completely black, then they get too mushy.
PStem on the ice cream is about 11-12 feet. |
Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
I tend to eat them when they are completely yellow. Beyond that when you peel them, some of the inner peel sticks to the nanner and I gotta pick it off. They are kinda too mushy for me even when yellow, but bad tasting before that. I usually let some get some black and get mushy to be frozen and later blended as ice cream banana ice cream. So ono! I've had mine fruit at 7-8 feet, but subsequent generations seem to be getting taller. Usually have to prop all of them up even before flowering or they flop over.

Re: Ice Cream and Dwarf Brazilian both flower under 6 months
I was at my garden earlier today and noticed another mystery banana pop a flower. I have a feeling it's a tall Brazilian but will post pictures when the flowers show. It was planted 5 months ago.
