Ante - excellent Maurelii. Mine won't grow for me - it keeps getting sick. I repot it and it recovered - twice. Will try a new location. Rating: 10.00

Anything different about the plant? Looks like no pink. Good pics!

The true blue java usually (not always) has fruit that are more blue than anything else you've seen, they are more angular in cross section than the rounder fruits of the "fake Ice Cream" being sold, and the hands of fruit are more widely spaced. I'm sure there are other different characteristics, too. I honestly don't know how the tastes compare, since I've never eaten a true Ice Cream / Blue Java fruit -- yet! Someday.

Which also means the real ones are probably rare if you try to get one from a nursery. What are the 'true' characteristic differences? The real ice cream sure is a good looking banana. Rating: 10.00

Agreed. Wouldn't surprise me if it was even less than half. My guess is that the folks doing the TC got the wrong plant to TC and then all the nurseries propagate it without asking any questions about its ID.

yeah i think ice cream/blue java is the most misrepresented variety in the hobby. i think about less than half of everyone who think they are growing java have the real deal. Rating: 10.00

Rain...Finally! We had barely an inch of rain in east Tennessee the whole month of August.

I appreciate that.. I used to live in West Palm Beach but now I live in Rhode Island. What town do you live in in florida? How much are you asking for the Ae Ae plant? I hope all is well.. Thanks so much for the response Steve

if you put it directly in the ground.. it would help if it was a day or two before some rain.. they seem to do better with pushing out roots after rain. the hose seems not to do anything. the rain does it.
