This is what the fruit of the true Blue Java / Ice Cream looks like (thanks to meizzwang):

Many thanks. So my description above fits a Namwa?
My first BJ supplier was from one of the most reputable TC propagators in Australia as far as I can tell. I queried them a couple of times with no satisfactory answers.
My second supplier was a freebie from a backyarder that guaranteed it was a blue Java.
My third supplier is from another commercial nursery complete with label. Perhaps lucky third time around. Hope it will fruit this year.
Also, will they retain that blue colour while developing a bunch cover?
Cheers!
