The flesh is soft, sweet, and reminiscent of vanilla custard or soft serve, making it ideal for smoothies, frozen treats, or eating fresh right off the stalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1042\" data-end=\"1393\" class=\"\"\u003eBlue Java grows as a fast-maturing banana tree, reaching 12–20 feet tall with wide, wind-resistant leaves. It’s cold-hardy for a banana, tolerating temperatures down to the mid-20s (°F) once established. It thrives in Zones 8b–11 and is one of the few bananas suitable for growers in warmer subtropical areas, not just the tropics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sow Exotic","offers":[{"title":"NEW!
