Musa Blue Java aka Ice Cream Fruit!
100% ID verified! Much of what you see offered in the US as Ice Cream turns out to be a different cultivar.
These bananas have been hanging for 10 months now (flowers opened August 2017). The pseudostem aka "cane" is just about dead: most of the leaves have turned yellow or brown, since it's been mostly cold here in Northern California from end of October until about May. Hopefully these will fill in and be mature very soon!
