Re: is this true Ice Cream ?
My guess would be Namwah, but I am no expert.
The leaves and their midribs look like Namwah as does the fruit shape, but I have not yet fruited a Namwah, so please don't quote me.

Re: is this true Ice Cream ?
YEAH BOY!!
 You have yourself a Nam wah!! A false ice cream! BUT! Better tasting, higher yield, And better disease resistance! Than a "True" ice cream. I have nice large nam wah corms available, if anyone is interested please message me

Re: is this true Ice Cream ?
Got a bunch of ice cream/blue java from a club member and didn't know what to expect. They taste lousy --- period. Yuck!
Stop wasting time on the cute name and get Viente Cohol, if you have a short summer season. Or Pisang Klotek, FHIA 2 - Sweetheart or Chini Champa. All these taste great. Herees what the IC look like and yes they are blue-ish. Dan |

(9a/9b New Orleans) and was told IC. Now, i dont really have room for anything else. this will be its 3rd winter. well, in its first winter, it was 3 inches tall. Last winter it never did freeze really... it hit 32F for like an hour one night. But, on occasion we get 28F temps in winter here. How is the Nam Wah on frost tolerance ? thanks for the responses... |

Re: is this true Ice Cream ?
Namwah is good with the cold, from what I have read, even into the lower 20's... Leaves will be killed, but the plant will survive.
See here: dwarf namwah grow report in COLD Northern California

Re: is this true Ice Cream ?
Looks like namwah to me too. Actually not a bad thing unless you really wanted an ice cream.
