Ornamental Features

Ice Cream Banana is a wonderfully ornamental plant with characteristically tropical foliage and delicious edible fruit. Its attractive enormous glossy oval leaves remain green in color throughout the season. The fruits are showy yellow bananas carried in abundance from mid to late fall.

This plant is primarily grown as an ornamental, but it's also valued for its edible qualities. The narrow sweet bananas are most often used in the following ways:

Fresh Eating
Cooking
Baking


Been reading about these online. Would be a cool tree to have it seems. Anyone have experience with these?

Brother has a plant. He’s produced for two consecutive years (cut the producing plant and have the next pup “take over”)


He’s given me a pup, but it isn’t mature yet and is sitting in a pot in my backyard.

He and his children love the bananas. I haven’t tasted one yet.

Fast growing trees. It’s an expensive site, but it’s the only place he could find it.
