![]() Does anyone know the differences between Musa 'Ducasse' ('Pisang Awak') and Musa Ice Cream (Blue Java)? Are they the same cold hardy variety form Australia?

![]() Thanks Erlend. My first thought was that they were technically the same variety. Agri-Starts has the two advertised as different plants, which led me to believe that the Ducasse might be an even cold-hardier strand of the Ice Cream.

![]() They are not the same variety, but they are in the same group, Bluggoe ABB and are similar as are most varieties in a group.

![]() I wanted to bump up this thread because Dar (musaboru) was inquiring about the Dwarf Ducasse and I could not attach the files below, that gives references to Ducasse forms, in a PM or the classified ad.
Dar, to go directly to the Dwarf Ducasse, do a search for "Namwa Khom" in either file. |
