Petioles on my namwahs are closed, as much as they are on Ice Creams. Many of my varies banana types have some pink as yours do. So they could be anything at this point, but probably not anything that has closed petioles.

Big Tony told me he asked the folks at the nursery and they told him it has the blue fruit. They grow it right there

Kostas · 06-22-2013, 04:28 PM

Thanks Tony! Sounds promising! Has it fruited for Big Tony yet to know for sure?

Man! Its not even the second best thing (i.e. a Namwah)! Whats next, not a banana, not a plant, not a carbon based form of life, non-terrestrial? Thanks Florida Hill Nursery... Good job guys, you sold me a piece of space debris

On the plus side, as long as it's an edible banana, it will taste better than a real Ice Cream!

Is it easy to tell what a blue java looks like in a picture? Does where it's grown change how it may look? Are there any banana places that sell the real deal stuff 100% of the time? Anyone have a ice cream that knows 100% they are willing to sell a pup?

If you got the Pisang Awak (Namva) and not the Ice-cream, its a great tasting Banana you wont be disappointed.

I placed an order with FHN about 18 months ago for 4 cultivars (Rajapuri, Double, Dwarf Namwah, Ice Cream), and all 4 turned out to be Dwarf Orinoco plants instead...which I already had a mat of.

I will never order from FHN again.

OMG. I have heard many horror stories about FHN here on bananas.org and from fellow CRFG members, but four Orinoco's that is simply sad.....

RWalleyTX · 06-09-2014, 08:19 AM

Wow...sorry to hear that. How could u tell? Did you call them about it?

hanabananaman · 06-09-2014, 08:53 AM

I have also been a victim of FHN, similar story as yours. The owner was posting here as a satisfied customer and got busted, but he could not comprehend how deceitful he was being and kept trying to defend his ridiculous actions. The guy needs some serious help. Tried talking to him but that was a complete waste of my time. I also bought an Ice Cream from Laverne and it turned out to be Namwa, not a big problem because the bananas were great and it tolerated the cold better than the others. Bought a Dwarf Lady Finger from Laverne and I am pretty sure it is a Pisang Awak. Both of them had red pedicles and PA had a red bunch stem. This laugh is on me, the DLF that was a PA had a mature height of 4ft listed on the Laverne tag. Well this plant was already 3ft so I'm thinking nanners in a few months. "Ha- Ha" as Nelson Muntz would say not happenin, when it hit 8ft last year I called Laverne and the guy told me I was giving it too much N and that's why it's not flowering at 4ft. Well with a little more learning I figured that guy was full of good fertilizer and I did not have a DLF. I will soon sample the PA and I expect they will be quite good from all I've read.
