Re: Blue Java
The whole deal with AgriStarts is due to a mislabeling of tissue cultures. There was somehow a mix-up a few years back, and now what AgriStarts is selling as Blue Java is actually Namwah. The two plants are indistinguishable as tissue cultures. Namwah is a great plant, possibly better than the actual Blue Java, so you might as well give it a shot. You won't know for sure until it flowers anyways.
And while soil conditions and abiotic factors do affect the physical characteristics of the plant and its growth, what variety the plant is has to do with its DNA. No matter what the growing conditions are, a plant of the same variety will always produce the same fruit, and will able to be identified based on the characteristics of the flowers and male bud.
