I ordered (From Green Earth Publishing) what I was assured were the real deal Blue Java a year and a half or so ago (Right around the time I was becoming active on this site) and was all excited when they came as they had pointy blue green leaves... Then they began growing and the color changed to a lighter green and the midribs became pink and I knew I had been duped...
They looked like this when I got them...
After a few weeks they changed to this...
I guarantee you the two bunches blown down by Irma last year were NOT blue Java...
He also sent me something with wine stains instead of the other banana I ordered, and replaced them with another wrong banana which I later found to be a Dwarf red... If you don't mind mystery bananas, his plants come hardened off and healthy.
