Hi all, I have searched this forum but I haven't found much information on Tu'u Ghia. Does anyone know how tall they get? I found a research paper that states they get 2-3 meters tall. So about 6-9 feet. Does that sound right? Also does anyone know how cold hardy they are or aren't?

Thanks,
Bill

There is a thread created years ago, in which mentioned Tu'u Ghia isn't cold hardy!.......http://www.bananas.org/f15/tuu-ghia-3981.html.

Thanks for the great info. It definitely sounds like something worth trying. If anyone has pups available please let me know.

Thanks,

They are pretty hard to find right now. After I get a backup and a few going I will have pups. Hopefully by next year. Mine is really starting to pick up speed now! Fast grower! Being an AA I’m sure it’s not gonna like the cold!
