Plant Description

Ice Cream Banana Tree For Sale

The Ice Cream Banana, also known as Blue Java, is a unique tropical fruiting plant loved for its creamy, vanilla-like flavor. Native to Southeast Asia, it grows tall and hardy, making it one of the most resilient banana varieties. In addition, its silver-blue fruit and lush leaves bring a bold, tropical look to any garden.

Fruit Description:

Ice Cream Bananas grow to a medium size and stand out with a blue peel that turns silver-yellow as they ripen. The flesh tastes soft, sweet, and creamy, with a flavor often compared to vanilla ice cream. These bananas ripen in summer and work perfectly for eating fresh, freezing, or blending into smoothies and desserts.

Ice Cream Banana Plant Description:

The Ice Cream Banana grows 15–20 feet tall with a spread of 10–15 feet, but you can prune it to fit smaller spaces. It thrives in full sun, warm weather, and well-drained soil. Besides giving fruit, this variety resists wind well and shows off strong ornamental appeal, making it both practical and beautiful in the garden.
