If my memory serves me correctly, your Ice Cream fruit look just like those Andy (BadPun) has hanging right now. I bet Agristarts or someone doing TC screwed up the ID and so most bananas being sold in the US as "Ice Cream" are not the real deal ("Ney Mannan" subgroup). Like Gabe, I've seen the real deal at Quail Gardens. The fruits of the US "Ice Cream" that Tony and others have look more pointy than the Namwahs and Misi Luki I've seen. Maybe another cultivar in this group, like Gabe said.
