I'm late in rejoining the conversation. Yes, Wellspring Gardens and Florida Hill Nursery are definitely NOT selling true Blue Java. I kept the bananas, though, and kept growing them. At a little more than 2 years old, the current generation is about 6-6.5', with leaves arching up another 2 feet or so. No dusty gray/blue appearance, like the Blue Java. Supposedly, they're Dwarf Namwahs, but I can't easily tell the difference between many of these. In my area, only so much will grow on a seasonal basis ... and what does grow darn well better store dry and dark for the winter, or else it won't survive. Bananas, ginger, aroids, etc. Come late October, everything comes indoors or dies outside.
It's going to be 30 degrees F in the morning tomorrow. My Musa zebrina are still in the ground. We'll see if they make it...
