If they aren't Blue Java's do these Namwah's you guys mention produce edible fruit?
Yep, you're correct that the two are the same Ice Cream/Blue Java, but you'll find on here most people buy that variety and it turns out to be Namwah, which do produce quite good fruit, though I don't think yours is a Namwah. It's an annoying problem, that many banana types, close to a third for me, are not actually what they were sold as, and it takes a while to find out what they are.

I don't have any idea what yours could be though, if it's not a Namwah.
