Ice Cream Banana Plant - Live Banana Tree"Ice Cream" Rare Banana Plant

I received the plant in good health. Unfortunately, I assumed the instructions was the receipt and potted the plant immediately. After realizing my mystake, I reached out to the seller and they promptly replied with how to proceed from there. I think the plant a little overpriced, but considering there is good and prompt support, the price is a little more reasonable.Hopefully the little sucker continues to grow and makes bananas next year. I won't know until then if these are the rare bananas advertised, but they're definitely not dwarf cavendish plants. I have both now and they're distinctly different.****Update: the plant has been inside under 2 plant lights for the majority of time since it arrived in the mail. It's been 5 months and winter finally over. It's going in the ground soon. It looks really happy. It's in a 5 gallon container. The pic I posted is from 5 months after it arrived.*******11/11/2022 updated update. The plant is over 15 feet tall and has several pups over 10 feet tall. I don’t expect fruit this year as it’s starting to get cool in zone 9, but it still may 🤞

Our banana tree arrived healthy. Follow the directions and then plant it. It has grown to 6 ft tall already and it hasn’t been quite a year yet. Looking forward to seeing the bananas grow when it’s mature! Great buy!

All plants died in the first month

I was surprised to see how small it was, was expecting a little bit bigger plant especially for the price. It was packed very efficiently so my roots were in tact and damp not drowned, but we will see how they taste when these hit full size!

Was concerned when my plant showed up. I’m in Montana, and a banana plant delivered to my door to sit in -5 temps for a day had be concerned. Got it and and opened and let it acclimate before transferring. Didn’t do much for the first few weeks but absolutely took off when it sat on the deck all summer long. It’s now just about a year old and still going strong. It went dormant for the winter but I changed my watering and lighting set up and it’s taking off again. I just took a 7 day trip and it grew 5” over that time without being watered. 10/10 would buy agin.

The media could not be loaded. Purchased in spring of 2018Review on 7/6/2022I have ordered a lot of banana plants from various sellers but this one is the strongest one and the first one to make bananas!!!! It’s so exciting. I live in grow zone 9a so the plant does stop growing for the winter but it outlasts the cold and wind with ease. We maybe have a total of the frosty nights not much but enough to have taken out other banana plants. But this one grows fast and is very durable. It is currently flowering so I can’t tell you about the taste yet but I am sure it is going to taste amazing. I will try to update this as things progress.

Should have sent something with stronger roots. Very small plants. Got a Pisang Raja also, so big that it wouldn't fit inside the standard mail box

So, my banana plant is doing well and healthy. It has tripled its size in just 3 mths. My only concern is that I may have been given the wrong plant. I ordered the ice cream banana plant and waiting for a response from the nursery.Update- I did get a fast response from the nursery and it is indeed an ice cream banana plant. Some plants are all green or have maroon coloring. It will be interesting to see what the bananas will look like... I am still very happy with my plant and it is doing amazingly well.
