Default Red or White Iholene?

The Red Iholene from Going Bananas resurrected with one good pup after the mama corm died. It looked so good I put it in the ground a few weeks ago. The weird thing is, it does not look like the replacement I got this summer. Several nurseries mention that Iholene comes Red, White from a class called Haa.

Does anybody agree with the above? No matter to me as I am looking forward to this very tasty banana from "Iho Whateverensis".

Samantha, I think yours is Red as in Jamaican, Cuban, or even Dwarf( if it says so). Iholenes are different.

Congrats on the new leaf!

I am mistaken. I thought it just said "Red" but now I know it said "Red Iholene". There is a Banana plant called "Red" and I thought it was that.

None of the above. No.1 looks correct on the underside, but haven't seen it with red splotches on the top. No. 2 doesn't look correct at all.

I think the bottom line to this thread is -------one nursery sends one thing ------and another ships another ------- you say bananers, and I say banahnas!!!

Yes Terry, it is yours. Looks great doesn't it. Looking forward to the fruit, no matter what.

Side note ---- just started the liquid kelp and humic acid applications ---- potted and planted in ground ------expect dramatic results as the potted sick Siam Ruby and Ensette Maurelii have shown accelerated growth!!!!!!!!!!!

Default Re: Red or White Iholene?

ok... being the fact that there is some descrepency as to whether my lil tree is a red iholene/white iholene, or somethig totally different, i would appriciate some one who can tell me what kind it is. i bought it from the banana-tree and the banana plantation they have is in equadore, could it be a red iholene, just too young to be red????? im clueless in sparta.. thank you.ive tried to find a pic of a red iholene pup so i could do my own detective work, however i just find pics of mature trees.




the dark spot on the underside of the leaf is water, i wash my hands before i touch my banana trees trees. (qualify for banana fiend?)
