Planting Blue Java Banana Plants aka (Ice Cream) Banana Plants (Part 1)
Using the Hugelkultur method with chips to retain moisture under the root of the plant. when Planting Banana Plants one thing to keep in mind is that Banana plants are made up of mostly water, and need lots of water and fertilizer to grow to be healthy fruit producers.
I found a grower that supplied me with the original Blue Java Banana Plants, with a distinct knuckle at the top of each fruit and a very clear separation between each fruit right at the main stem.
ABOUT BLUE JAVA:
The greatly mislabeled in Florida “ice cream” banana.
We grow both the Blue Java and Namwa banana plants. Our Original Genuine, Certified Organic Blue Java Banana Plants start at $89.00 for pups and depending on the size available of mature plants.
What’s the difference?
Namwa Banana Plants have a very distinct pink petiole, a pink edge on the leaf and a pinkish hue to the stem of the plant, a chalky coating over the whole plant gives it a unique look.
The way to truly tell if you have the real one or the imposter is to fruit is, The genuine Blue Java fruit hands hang differently than namwa, there's a distinct knuckle at the top of each fruit and a very clear separation between each fruit right at the main stem, where Namwa Banana Plant fruit Hands are fused together and all connected to the stem as one cluster.
here is my website with photos of the blue java.
