Blue Java
 

I was reading about blue java bananas in an article and was completely fascinated with the plant. I've been calling my local nurseries here Austin TX but none seem to have one. Can someone help?

Re: Blue Java
 

Here are a couple of reputable banana plant online sales and there are others on this forum. I have ordered from both places. Beware though, there are some really bad places to order from like TY-TY. Ask about a mail order place first and you will get some good advice.

I am just very impatient and want them in front of me, but if I can't find it I'll have to order online. Thanks for the websites.

Re: Blue Java
 

I have them as well.

Re: Blue Java
 

I gave in. I just ordered 2 blue javas from one of the websites. I can't wait, I'm going bananas. See what I did there.

Re: Blue Java
 

Do they really taste like ice cream ?

Re: Blue Java
 

I don't know (._.) I just like how they are blue before they are ripe.

PM me I sell u one cheap I live in Round rock I have 3 pups 1.5 ft tall

Re: Blue Java
 

thanks a lot but I already bought 3 online. 2 blue java and 1 red dwarf. Is yours a true blue java? If mine are not I'll contact you. :-)

Re: Blue Java
 

No, not to me anyway. They do make very good banana ice cream if you freeze them when fully ripe and put them in a blender until they have the consistency of soft serve. I make it without any added sugar and just a touch of soy or coconut milk to get it to blend.

Re: Blue Java
 

mmmm banana ice cream. Sounds delicious. I hope the 2 I ordered are true blue java. Do you know of a legit nursery that has real blue java? In the u.s.

Re: Blue Java
 

I just went back and looked up where I got my Ice Cream--it was Green Earth. Does anyone know if the Ice Cream from there was true?

Re: Blue Java
 

Most of the Ice Creams on the mainland US are not the real thing. There are a few places and people that have the real one. San Diego Botanical Gardens has the real deal.

Re: Blue Java
 

your web site was very informative,,thanks so much for taking the time to put on some good pictures :) thanks dee

Re: Blue Java
 

my blue java ended up being something else. I was wondering if there is anyone in the U.S. Who has a real blue java, is willing to sell me a few.

Re: Blue Java
 

I have two Blue Java and I am sure they are Blue Java.

Re: Blue Java
 

How did you come to that conclusion after only having your plants for about two months (if you bought in Aug 2012)? Did you buy one of the $8 plants?

I started showing more red than the usual blueish silver tint

Re: Blue Java
 

I have a true blue Java and it stays in a pot. Grows too tall and winds are a problem here. Got it from Wormfarmer and saw it full size and the fruit. Will auction it off one day.

Re: Blue Java
 

It might be worth a try up here in Santa Clara because the winds aren't too bad here. Cold is a problem here though.
