Musa 'Ice Cream' - Ice Cream Bananas

They look tasty already ! :-)

Amblealice:

They aren't big enough yet. The bananas still have quite a bit of growing to do. :>)

Yum yum, banana, yogurt, honey and some cinnamon. :o)

That sounds so good! I do love my home-grown bananas, they're the best! :>)

Looking very nice. Very, very nice.
Bought myself a banana plant 3/4 weeks ago. It's looking good so far. Has produced a new leaf already, and another one is showing its tip.
Whether anything will come of it, time will tell, if I don't kill it first. lol. ;o)

Lindalooloo:

Thanks! I have lots of banana varieties growing around the yards.

Good luck with your banana plant. Banana plants grow very quickly in summer...here they can grow one leaf a week.

They look gorgeous...love the photo...

Crissue:

Thanks! I have a huge bunch of golden finger bananas in the back yard, too. :>)

What a treat Delonix to be able to grow your own...I would love that... :))

Thankyou Andy;
We haven't got 'Summer', bit mine did grow a leaf in just over a week, and the new leaf shooting, is looking good, so there's hope yet, I may just get some Bananas. lol.
There were only 3 leaves with a 4th one opening, when I bought it, so it's not that big, and one leaf is almost half the size of the plant. lol. :o)

Crissue:

Yes, I've been growing bananas for years. My Mysore lady finger bananas are the best. They're so sweet! :>)

I currently grow 7 varieties of bananas.

Wow...that's great...

looks great Delonix....u might be lucky Lindalooloo i have seen bananas on one or two plants around here...:-)

Sandra:

Thanks! :>)

It's highly unlikely bananas will ripen out of a tropical or subtropical climate. Bananas need 3 - 5 months (after blooming) of continuous warm to hot weather to develop and ripen.

Looking good...
any pics of Sausage Tree babies yet please Delonix ?

Terratoonie:

I have small seedlings growing now. I'll post them soon. :>)

your right highly unlikely...but it does happen here...and makes the local news when it does ...lol

Sandra:

Wow! That's pretty incredible! :>)

You are so lucky to have your own bananas growing in your own back garden, my OH eats loads it would save us a fortune if we could grow them here.

My plant is looking good. Another new leaf has almost finished opening, and that is just in a week.
How big this plant will eventually grow, I've no idea, but OH has asked me if I plan to take the greenhouse roof off, if need be. lol.

:))))

Lindalooloo:

Sorry I didn't see your previous comment!

That's great news...another bananas leaf! :>)

Typically from early Spring - Fall banana plants here can put out a leaf a week (in the ground). They're super fast growing plants.

My leaf is almost open. So that's in just a week.
It's still in the pot it came in, as I'm not sure what to do with it at the moment. lol.
I do have it in the greenhouse, but if it carries on growing at this rate, I will have to take the roof off. lol. :o)

That's great! Banana plants can grow tall, depending on the variety...there's many dwarf forms, also.
