Default Re: Clarification of Agristarts "ICE CREAM" Banana

Piggybacking off of Ty- Ney Mannan is another subgroup used to classify 'Blue Java'. I learned recently there is still debate as to whether Ney Mannan is a legitimate subgroup in the ideal sense, or if cultivars associated with it are really just Bluggoes, both are used, and there isn't really an authoritative reference on it, or many other subgroups, yet.

Regardless of what you hear from our good friends on this site, the real deal 'Blue java' I tried and have growing is hands down one of the best tasting fruit I've ever had. Clones of cultivars/varieties can have so many different regional variables that affect taste, appearance, etc.
