The flesh is soft, creamy, and sweet with hints of vanilla, making it a favorite among banana enthusiasts for fresh consumption and dessert preparations.
Growing Tips
- Blue Java Banana plants thrive in rich, well-draining soil with a pH range between 5.5 to 7.0. They require regular moisture but should not be waterlogged.
- Provide full to partial sunlight, with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fruit production.
- These plants prefer tropical to subtropical climates with temperatures ranging between 20°C to 30°C. Protect them from frost and extreme cold as they are sensitive to low temperatures.
- Regular fertilization with a balanced fertilizer high in potassium promotes healthy growth and fruiting. Apply fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season.
- Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain soil moisture, suppresses weed growth, and provides nutrients as it decomposes.
