![]() Without knowing the size of the fingers, you basically described my dwf namwah. It had a bunch this summer with a dark/heavy blue coloring like your picture. The fingers were about 4" long X 1 1/4" diameter. The rain washed some of the blue off before I could get a picture of the bunch. They had a nice sweet flavor with a hint of apple. ...My Blue Javas produced 2 bunches the fingers were about 6" long or a little more. I lost one bunch to the hurricane winds in August. This why many of the TC plantlets sold are actually Namwah. The plants were mixed up when a sample was sent to Aggristarts years ago. .... So the question is: Where did you get your plant from? ... As most growers that buy Blue Java tc's get Dwf Namwah. Last edited by edwmax : 11-29-2020 at 09:06 AM. |

![]() It was a tc from one of the online vendors and is mislabeled. I have no idea what it is. Ive got 2 other dwarf namwahs and a few tc fake ice creams, and real blue javas. This one is super blue. The blue has faded a bit since they are close to ripe. The bananas are on the small side and plant is really small. Its around 6ft at flower. And makes a small rack.
Its flowering again on another stem. I'll snap another pic. I may call it dwarf blue java and distribute them. Its definitely not the standard tall namwah fake ice cream. |

Is this a first year plant? My plants are always shorter the initial year planted with subsequent generations significantly taller. |

![]() the dwarf namwa will get a silver/blue wax coat from time to time, but the shape/way they hang are very different and easy to differentiate when you see both in person.
looks blue java just a small bunch, not a namwa variety though.

![]() I tried the fruit and its really fluffy and a little dry. Im not that impressed with the fruit. They have a nice size and color but the flesh is a little on the dry size and not very flavorful.
Heres a pic ![]() Heres a pic of a different plant that is supposed to be the "real" blue java. These are definitwly different types of bananas. These ones curl upward. The mystery ones point outward. ![]() Last edited by Spaugh : 12-20-2020 at 12:16 PM. |

![]() I'm not even sure which place it came from and it wasn't supposed to be a blue java. Ill have to check the tag but its not what it was advertised as.
