There are at least three varieties of "Namwah" (Pisang Awak subgroup) available in the mainland US, and they differ in height: Dwarf Namwah (6-9'), "Misi Luki" (10-12'), and "Ice Cream" (12-15'). At least those are the heights they get to in my yard. "Misi Luki" is not particularly stout, though more so than the real Blue Java, but the other two are thick.
