While my personal plants haven't fruited yet I found this online

The Blue Java are supposed to have 'knuckles' in the hands while the Namwa does not



Here's the video that shows the difference

It most likely isn't. especially for 12$.

Let me know if you want a real one. I'll put you on my list.

Default Re: Namwah are Blue Java

I ordered internet blue javas two years ago and two of them recently fruited as a Namwah. The USDA-TARS book matches them as a Pisang Awak type "Fougamou 1."

Some people get Namwah, and some people get Orinoco types. I've even gotten a Gros Michel-Looking banana as "blue java." The tissue culture system is a mess. But, we still have bananas.

One thing about Green Earth is that Ted is a really nice guy and is totally stand up. I had a problem with a Basjoo and he sent me another one out no questions asked. That one is taking off rather nicely. As for the wrong plant thing from what I have learned this year is that hardly any of the tissue culture nurseries are actually sending out Blue Javas. I don't really think it's totally their fault although I'm not sure why they all continue to do it knowing this.

Default Re: Namwah are Blue Java

I know one thing Namwah is a good eating banana compared to store bought crap. If someone doesn't actually say an Ice cream is a better eating Banana you probably better off with the namwah than something that just has ice cream texture. Cavendish suk, but the hybrids are pretty good. I like the SH-3640, and the FHIA-02. I can wait till the peels split to eat manzano too.. cuz its the only time they taste good, and I find them to be pretty awesome.
