Ice Cream Banana Plant (Namwa Type) – Cold Hardy Starter Plant

Description

Ice Cream Banana (Namwa Type)

One live small starter plant. Look at the example pic. May be smaller or larger!! These are greenhouse-grown and will need to be acclimated before going into full sun.

The Ice Cream Banana is famous for its sweet, creamy flavor and soft “ice cream-like” texture when fully ripe. This is a Namwa-type banana, which is extremely vigorous, productive, and much more cold-tolerant than many other banana varieties.

🔍 Transparency About the Variety

We received this plant labeled as Ice Cream Banana, but through experience and comparison we want to be fully transparent — it is not true Blue Java.

Most sellers online are offering this same Namwa-type plant but still listing it as “Blue Java.”

We believe in honesty and accuracy, so we list it exactly for what it is.

The good news?

Namwa is the actual variety responsible for the famous “ice cream flavor” and performs far better in home gardens than true Blue Java.
