Blue Java Banana (Musa)

A highly sought after banana plant. Extremely beautiful fruit as it is. You got to be the real collector of rare plants to appreciate it.

Note that this is a real banana plant that will grow into full size plant and fruit and it is not an ornamental banana.

Blue Java Bananas are known as "ice cream bananas" because they have a creamy texture and flavor that's oddly reminiscent of vanilla custard. The bananas themselves are fluffier and creamier than your typical banana.

Blue Java bananas are quite rare and are not found everywhere. They are primarily grown in the Southeast Asian region but are also quite well-known in Hawaii. These fruits are a hybrid of two other kinds of bananas, namely Musa balbisiana and Musa acuminata. Interestingly enough, these bananas are cold tolerant and can grow even at temperatures below freezing point. The plant can grow vigorously in NZ conditions and relatively productive.

You only need to buy one to enjoy this rare beauty and once it takes off you will get more pups from it.

We don't have many of them so grab them now to avoid any disappointment.
