Re: Home depot Blue java or Namwa?

You didn’t notice the silvery sheen to the underside of the Blue Java?
That’s usually the dead giveaway for me.

Re: Home depot Blue java or Namwa?

It’s my understanding that the whole “Ice Cream” theme got started by folks doing an online search for “best banana” or something like that.

I pretty much decline to use the term, as the name has...

Re: Cutting back question

Getting a Blue Java to fruit in Ohio is probably going to require a heated greenhouse of some sort.
You’ll have way less headaches going with a dwarf variety that can be lugged inside for winter,...

Re: New tree not growing.. help!

Your plant was probably just stressed, is it growing again?
When the trunk gets trashed, there’s a good chance you can salvage the corm.

Re: Hello California U.S.A Banana Growers

We have had good results from Dwarf Orinoco here in Sacramento, & the Blue Java has been doing almost as well.
For non-fruiting, oddly enough, Mekong Giants have been hanging in there somehow.

Re: best banana for sacramento, ca

Orinoco is a great cooking banana, my favorite for frying. Usually not as sweet as the store variety but with a more complex flavor.
There are some good Asian grocery stores in town that will have a...

Re: Hey, are these lychees?

Yah, it's hard to tell, especially with that bird netting on 'em.
The guy that sent me the pic had loquats, so he *should* know what those look like.

The term "Ice Cream" banana is practically useless, because it has been used to name at least 2 different cultivars.
Also, somewhere on the web, "Ice Cream" has been referred to as being the best...

Re: Who likes Tamales steamed with banana leafs

I like to wrap my snacks in "Mexican pepperleaf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_auritum)" (thanks Kat!) before wrapping in the 'nanner leaves.

Re: I want to buy pups of banana

The US has no export restrictions; where you could run into problems is entering back into Italy, so it's the Italian import regulations you should be looking into.

Re: Attack of the Mockingbirds - haaaalp!
