What advice do you have for growing MUSA acuminata Ice Cream successfully?
To grow Musa acuminata 'Ice Cream' successfully, choose rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Plant the young banana plants 2 to 3 metres apart to allow them to develop fully. Water regularly, especially during the active growth period, but avoid over-watering. Adding compost or organic fertiliser in spring will encourage vigorous growth. In winter, protect the base of the banana plant with thick mulch to keep out the cold. Light pruning of damaged leaves is all that's needed to maintain a healthy, attractive plant.
