Years ago I ordered what fast growing trees advertised as blue java. Ice cream banana. I've babied it for two years. Digging it up and bringing it a spare room with grow lights when it gets cool....

Re: What do I do?

Zone 8.

Thanks for the advice. I just didn't know if it would get tall enough to put on enough leaves.

Overwintered it inside. Most of the leaves ended up dying.

Should I just...

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...

You're pretty close to me. I'm in Hampton. Small town few hours south of little rock.

To answer your question, it's no trouble...

Re: When to take blue java outside

Sorry about that. Lol. And thanks for the info. I'll probably just play it safe and keep it inside until nighttime temps are pushing 60.

Had to move it out of my makeshift greenhouse to make room...

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...

Winterize ice cream banana

Zone 8. Got into the low 30s last night and my plant looks rough.

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

Leaning towards digging it up and bringing it inside.

I also have a portable...
