A Blue Banana That Tastes Like Vanilla Ice Cream – A Treat for Your Eyes & Your Palate

The ‘Blue Java’ Banana tree is unique. This fast-growing, cold-tolerant marvel from Asia and the South Pacific actually produces blue bananas that taste exactly like vanilla ice cream or custard. Many folks like to pick the ripe bananas and pop them in their mouths. Others suggest mixing the bananas into a smoothie or freezing them to make an all-natural ice cream alternative.

While you’re waiting for the fabulous treat to grow, you’re rewarded with a great looking addition to your yard. The tree showcases gigantic lime green leaves and a stout, sturdy trunk. Smart gardeners know the Blue Java’s well-developed root system will hold up well against the elements. The tree is happiest in moist soil and part to full sun.

Can this banana be grown in a container? If so, how large does the container need to be and how tall will it get?

Hi David,

This banana can be grown in a container if chosen to. If purchasing the large, you should repot this into a pot that is larger then 14″ in diameter.

Hi Steve, for this particular banana, we suggest that it be grown in a container for your patio and brought in during the cold months to your home or greenhouse. This particular plant is a full sun plant and would not do good as a house plant.
