Default Re: what banana is this? blue java?

dboo, you've convinced me that I was wrong and those are the real Ice Cream / Blue Java. The photos on the website of the place they were obtained from show the real blue java. Like you say, given the much tighter restrictions on importing and distributing bananas in Oz, you are much more likely than we in the US to get a correctly identified plant.

Pisang Awak is a subgroup that includes cultivars like what you call Duccasse or dwarf Duccasse, and we call Namwah and dwarf Namwah.

Let us know how those Blue Java taste.
