It very well could be that, but I'd expect to see more blue on the fruit. The color of the bud is consistent with Blue Java though, and it does look like its from the ABB group. If not Blue Java, I might say something along the lines of Saba.

Doesn't look anything like the Ice Creams I have. I'm not home where I can just go look and compare but something is just not right in the shape, color, and hand spacing. They almost look like unfused praying hands, which are a Saba type, so I'd guess a Saba type too. But that's all just based on my impression from pictures since I don't grow Saba except for a Praying Hands which hasn't fruited yet.

The pedicels ("fruit stems") are too short for Blue Java.

The plant is growing in Hollywood Florida. The fruit is angular and has the silvery blue color, not bright green The plant was around 10-15 feet tall

More than likely a Namwah, not an Ice Cream.

It's not a Namwah. They are never that square-sided. That's more of a Saba trait.

No, both are ABB types, but Orinoco is a Bluggoe subgroup banana. To me the fingers look too uniform in shape and spacing to be Orinoco.
