Re: What do I do?
Zone 8.

Re: Hi. Im sylvia from Arkansas z 7b
I'm hoping my blue java fruits this year or next. And I'm hoping it is blue java as much as I've taken care of it. Lol. I got it from fast growing trees and someone in the reviews said theirs ended...

Re: Hi. Im sylvia from Arkansas z 7b
That's cool. I was wondering how you'd store so many.
Do you leave any outside? I just ordered Mekong giant and was cureous if it would die to the ground in winter.
I have a row of ten figs going...

Re: When to take blue java outside
Guess no one knows. You'd think on a banana forum someone would know what temp would be ok to take it outside without damaging the plant.

When to take blue java outside
I've had it inside under grow lights all winter with temps in the 70s and 80s.
What temp will it be ok to take it outside to plant in the ground?
Will it die down in the 50s?

Re: Winterize ice cream banana
Got it from fast growing trees if that's any indication of what it is. They say it grows in zone 8 but I imagine they mean that it should come back every year.
I planted it in March of last year...

Should I trim the leaves off or will they make It?
