Your plant looks like a tall namwa to me but let the male flowers run for a bit and you will be able to tell. My understanding is that male flowers do not fall off dwarf plants as a general rule. Also first generation plants are shorter than subsequent generations.
Thanks for the info. Hopefully next year the blue java I got from you will be in this position. Hoping for another mild winter.
