That goes double for Musa Ice Cream. Tastes crappy. Still don't know why folks new to naners still focus on it. Must be the cute name.

For their level of cold tolerance they do seem to be dependable and don't really need propping which is great. But the taste experience isn't that noteworthy. I think the mahoi is fun for the novelty but that has worn off for me. If space wasn't such a premium in my yard. I would probably keep it around because it's fairly attractive and a nice height for architectural effect.

Will the Double grow and produce in a container? I have had several Namva produce in containers, but nothing else yet. I just planted a Namva, I had put in a small container a few years ago. I kind of forgot about it. Didn't water it very much no real fertilizer either. I noticed a small leaf and it looked like it was going to flower, so I stuck it in the ground. It is from a full size Namva but this one is only 5' tall.

Where did you get the Yangambi KM5 from originally? That seems like one not many people have.

Don't know, this is the first time it has bloomed. I'll let you know, eventually.

I got it from Sunfish, who got it from Chironex years ago, who got it from ARS-GRIN in PR. It appears to be correctly identified from what I can tell.

Biggest Ice Cream bunch I've had. I love it when they form fruit twice.


Goldfinger that started life at Agri-Starts so may not be the real thing. However, seems to fit much of the description, including the fruit taste and texture. This one is really short, about 6'.

Uhm... interesting. There's a guy here in Italy who has got a Goldfinger, and also that plant has flowered at about 6'. Wondering if they are the same clone. 6', as far as i know, is a little on the small side for a goldfinger. They should go about 8' as first crop, am I right?

Another TC Goldfinger from the same order fruited at 7.5'. Most types I grow tend to fruit a bit shorter than typical. I have had DBs fruit at 4' and others at 11 all from the same source. Huge differences just in my own yard based on water and sunlight. So I don't know that any 2 are about 6' matters much.
