Blue Java,Ice Cream - Page 4

crazy banana · 06-01-2012, 12:09 PM

I wonder why there is so much confusion and mis- labeling on the ice cream plant. I bought my first one at Lowes and after reading about it here on the forum, I was confused if I got the right thing. A few days ago I got another one from a member ( pietangadiego). Beautiful plants, both - but the leaves of both plants look very similar. The last one I bought says ice cream - ds on the stem. What does the ds stand for?

I don't know I've seen some yogurt look just like that. LOL

Hey Guys!
So That Home Depot Labeled Ice cream banana Finally Ripened and we tasted one yesterday.... It has a Slight Pineapple flavor to it.. First bite we weren't to sure we liked it (probably because we've only ever tasted store bought) But it's pretty good. I'll keep it going... Too bad it only put out 2 hands. Fruit is about 5-6 inches long Yellow and a bit chubby. It bloomed right around the end of our frosty days. I can't remember exactly what month that was... Feb/Mar??
Just thought I'd post what the turn out was for it. =)
