They require up to 15 consecutive frost-free months to produce a flower stalk.Banana trees can be grown in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 10. The Cavendish banana is the parent species of many banana cultivars sold in the U.S., and it produces paddle-shaped leaves that can grow to 10 feet long.The 'Blue Java' cultivar, also known as the ice cream plant, is a hybrid cross between Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. The tree can grow up to 15-20 feet, and its leaves are silvery green while the fruit grows in silvery blue bunches.When ripe, the fruit of the ice cream banana turns a creamy yellow, and the inner flesh is a creamy white that tastes like vanilla custard. Ice cream bananas are renowned for their luscious taste and can be eaten raw or cooked.If you have a 'Blue Java' cultivar, make sure to water it enough because it requires a lot of water. It's important to avoid letting the soil dry out more than 1.5 inches below the surface. To achieve this, you should give the plant regular deep watering rather than daily sprinkling. This will help the plant develop a deep root system and remove salt from the soil. To produce deeper roots that are protected from summer heat, you should dig a basin around the plant for irrigation.
