Any guesses? These don't get watered or fertilizer. Sunlight is also limited because they are between two buildings. There are two bunches on them. Seems to have a blueish tint to them.

Dude! That's an 'Ice Cream' banana. Also called Blue Java. See the wiki

That's pretty cool. I was thinking that the blueish silver was telling. It's been growing there for years, but I just got into this banana thing so I have not payed much attention. Thank you.

...the blueish silver was telling. ;)

I'd slip them a bucket of fertilizer & make sure I was the first one there to steal the fruit when its ready!!!

That's funny. I think the janitors will beat me to it. Someone cut off the flowers on on both bunches. But I will be looking for my ninja suit.:08:

Definitely looks like Blue Java/Ice Cream Banana. Maybe you can get a sucker from the mat to take home and start your own? Then you won't have to worry about janitors beating you to the bunchy goodness :D

Looks just like the Ice Creams I have. I even thought so before I saw the fruit pictures. Could also be Silver Bluggoe.
