First FHIA 1 Goldfinger (American) bloom - Page 2

Tytaylor77 · 06-02-2016, 08:02 PM

Mine seem to be weaker since they bloomed. It worries me so I propped them to be safe. They have plenty time to fill so I hope they fill ok. I'm going to grow the real Goldfinger beside it if I ever get one. I would like to see the differences also. They are doing great so far. The taller plants flower is a lot bigger than the first.

Interesting. (Congrats btw) I read Goldfinger are normally 12'-14' when they bloom.

I'm sure they are in the tropics. Also some experts say these Agristarts TC goldfingers are different than the real Goldfinger from TARS. I'm happy to get 6-7' here. Easy to wrap during winter. My Manzano bloom is close to 14'. That is pretty tall for my manzanos. I find most of my plants are a few feet smaller than in the tropics.

Makes sense.
I know what you mean about wrapping in the winter. My dwarf Orinoco at 5.5' was a breeze for a frost blanket. Hoping it will bloom maybe next year

Taylor, my first generation Goldfinger stem bloomed at about 6 feet 9 inches tall. The bunch though was excellent quality with about 10 hands. The pup stems that followed grew to about 10 to 11 feet before the flower emerged. I may not even have the real Goldfinger though. Next time I will take a picture of the bud if I do not forget.
