I did end up getting an actual blue java pup from a member here, but most taste tests folks seem to prefer the namwah.
For your yard, maybe something like a Raja Puri or Dwarf namwah would be a good choice?
Im honestly new to banana growing, so Im not sure what either of those varieties are. What is different in the taste between Namwah and Blue Java? Which is more cold hardy? Are the Raja Puri better than the namwah or blue java?
