The Musa Dwarf Iholena we are producing from our own tissue culture labs. We
received it from a customer in Hawaii who has been tracking down older
varieties of Hawaiian bananas to replenish the valleys there. It is a dwarf
form, growing to 6'-8' tall (but not very short like Haa Haa). We received
the plant in our hands as Musa 'Maia Iholena Haia Dwarf' The gentleman who
gave it to us refers to it as Dwarf Iholena as the 'common name'.

We sell these as 72 cell pack trays, with a minimum of 2 trays per order (2
trays of any 2 varieties, does not have to be 2 trays of the same plant.)

If you're interested in ordering, please let me know. We'll have a couple
trays of Musa Dwf Iholena available in late December, if you would like to
prebook some.

Thanks,
Heather
