Earlier this year I bought a tiny banana plant from Baker Creek that was labelled as "Dwarf Iholena". I assume that it was a TC from Agristarts. I do believe that it is an Iholena because the cigar leaves have a slight mauve color that fades after opening. The plant doesn't have any visible pink on the petioles, unlike the Iholena "Tigua" that I got from PR Giants.

The prospect of getting fruit with orange or yellow-orange flesh has me excited. But it would be nice to know which Iholena I actually have. I am trying to attach 3 pictures. Any guesses?
