ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

Hello All

I was hoping that someone could help me identiry if I REALLY DID get an Ice Cream nanner variety this time from Lowes.

Was visiting a near by city and just happened to see this thang and went ahead and got it...:}

Any confirming or denying info would be greatly appreciated.

It looks alot like my Ice Cream but from the pics it seems that they have an open petiole. Mine have more of a closed petiole.

Thats what mine looks like :ha:

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

It looks like the clone that is being sold in the US as Ice Cream, except for the open petioles. Mine has closed petioles.

CRAPOLLA Seems like Lowes purchases have been 0-4

Buying banana plants that are what they are marked as is almost as difficult of finding a good woman....lol :waving:

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

It's really difficult to get the real Ice Cream on the mainland....the only places on the mainland that I know of that have it are the San Diego Botanical Gardens and pitangadiego.

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

Heres another great place to get reliable labeled plants and good healthy plants!They have Ice Creams :0517: . Im sure there are plenty of others
Catalog of banana trees and banana plants offered at Going Bananas
And lots of people here on the list that I've noticed say great things about
Northern Tropics
Im sure there are lots more good reliable suppliers and the never ending listings here where peeps are wanting to trade of just sell a few good PUPS

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

I got my ice cream from Richard a ways back. Buy one from him. I also have Namwah and they would be issue to trick someone if you didn't know the difference. Can't tell what yours is,pics are hard and can't ever trust ID tags.

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

LOL seems like the Big Box Stores as usual simply MOFO's.

Well a banana grove of misfits...Gotta love it.

A melting pot of nanna nanna boo boo's here in Lizard Creek lol

:drum:

Hey as long as they are cold hardy who cares :) Now on you know to get something off someone on here. That way you can get the right kind. My boxes stores here by the beach only have Basjoo, and red ornamentals. But they want way to much and I have those. So I drive 45mins away to a awesome huge green house. They have atleast 12 different types and new ones.

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

Just from what I have read you really want know until it fruits. I have an ice cream too and it looks just like the apple at this stage. The Goldfinger looks a lot different.

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

Man! A lot of peeps plant bananas and end up scratching their heads when they bare fruit.. Myself included haha . I've been with people who see my plants blooming then want to get a “Plant in the ground” WOOOSH off to the box store they go . Walk over to the guy who was working at“Burger King” last month and he tells them exactly what's on that label :) ..... Hey it has to be correct ! A quick credit card swipe and out the door with plant and some “MIRACLE GROW” they go..
Truthfully it all works in the end... But if your wanting a specific type you really need to be patient and buy from people who can spell MUSA .. Hope I did not offend any one who works at Burger King! When I was a kid I worked at a place called Ranch House … I flipped my share of beef patties

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

What was that Burger King slogan? "Have it your way". Randy is right, you won't actually know until you get a bloom, and if it's PA instead, I'd wager you'll like the fruit better than IC.

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

You got that right my friend....I't all GOOD in the neigherborhood! :}

Hell I like a little variety anyway:08:

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

Hey Bo,

My second Ice Cream that I got from you July 2010 is setting a bloom. I hope it is the right one we'll know soon if not we can try again. I thnk when we got mine there was some question as to which mat the pups were coming from.

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

If we did'nt get them mixed up, the best I remember is that "Davis Nursery" in Summerdale got a big shipment from south Florida and I got the the Ice Cream and Goldfinger on the same day. Also not for sure if Davis sold me a real Ice Cream or the fake, but I will be happy even if they are Pisang Awak. Once yours gets further along we will have a better idea. I believe these Ice Cream in Marshall Islands are true IC.

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

Coolio...All good:nanadrink:

Here is what the tag's read!

But I'm finding out tags are only for show & a place to put the price/ bar code lol...

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

Ae least you are having fun and soon a large "mystery plantation" will thrill you.

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

Yes Sir

Planting bananas is like exploring with a new girlfriend:jumpingonbednaner:

Not sure what your going to end up with....lol

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

well mayor,

Maybe a call to the nursery with that SKU might shed some light. I doubt the nursery put the tag with the pretty picture on the banana.

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

Hey Thanks Sir

I called Simpson's Nursery just east of Tallahasse in Montecello Fla and spoke to someone who first asked me if I bought it from lowes then once I described which lowes and gave them the SKU he said in fact it is Ice Cream.

He described the plant to me and it is exactly what I have.

So now all I need now is Cotton Candy to go with my ice cream right? lol

We'll see hopefully,

Life is to be enjoyed not simply endured Happy Memorial Day:woohoonaner:

Again thanks for your suggestion..

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

I wonder if the question he asked was a legitimate one. I would think they would not use a SKU twice for different vendors. Not like they are running out of them! I would think the SKU should tell them when they sold it and to whom in addition to what it was including the size and everything else. Funny he would ask if you bought it at Lowes instead of could you verify the SKU again please. If you had of said I can't remember but this is your tag and SKU. What would he had said. I think I'm way to suspicious sometimes but sometimes not.

I don't know.

Does anyone know about the nursery in question?

Simpson Nurseries
Monticello, FL 32344

I know some people down that way I'll try for a sitrep.

Re: Is it ICE CREAM or Naner Naner Boo Boo?
 

Yeah, kinda reminds me of going to the local Gulf Coast "all you can eat fried flounder" buffet which just happens to be talapia. It just ain't right.
