Default Jamaican Blue Orinoco??

I saw a banana at HD the other day labeled as a Jamaican Blue Orinoco. The description said it was one of the best tasting bananas but I haven't been able to find it in my searches... Anyone ever heard or know of this variety?

Never heard of that one. I would have bought it just for the novelty. It might be an Ice Cream with a different name for marketing???
Any pictures of it?

If you do see it again, make a note of the nursery that grew it for Home Depot. Thanks!

ok, went back to look at it again and it was labeled Jamaican Blue/Ice Cream... Looks like Chironex was right!

It was looking pretty ratty but I picked it up anyways.

Glad you got it, hope you didn't pay full price though.
