The rachis appears to already have about 75 bract scars so it's doubtful the fruit will mature. If you look at how the bracts lift on your plant it is most likely a wild balbisiana and it doesn't resemble how the bracts lift and curl on a blue java.
You can find plenty of photos for comparison on the following site.
