Anything but the real "Blue Java/IceCream"
Before I joined this forum, I had purchased one at Lowes which originated from "La Verne" nursery. That one was definitely not a Blue Java: fruit, inflorescence and p-stem look like Namwah to me. Very different to my real Blue Java I am growing now.
I assume that yours might be a Namwah.
