The pstem should have some streaks of purple and pink; and the cigar & young leafs should have a bronze tint on the underside.

I have not noticed any pink on the pstem but the new leaves definitely have bronze tint, the picture is kinda hard to see, I am not saying it is a Iholena but it would have that trait.

Thanks Richard! As I feared I still have a few more feet to go, (if ive got an Iholena)ut they are amazing fast growers i put 2 footer into the ground May 15 and it is basically the same size as the one on this banana.





Banana Gallery - Bronze tint
thanks. I have a iholena tc I bought from baker creek that has the brownish/bronze tint. I thought the brown tint on the cigar leaf was a bit of sunburn. poor thing had a bad start this year. black grasshoppers nearly razed her to the ground when I was off for a week. had another one beside that did not come back. shame. but she is pupping.

the bronze tint might depend on which variety of iholena? and the red tint might show when they get bigger?
