im still leaning towards iholena subgroup based on its appearance at this stage. i dont feel like asking the supplier about the origin of the mother block (really dont feel like pulling teeth) i will be waiting for this to mature and fruit for sure.

Re: Kru
How much difference is there between a flowering red ihoelne and flowering kru, it would be interesting if someone has had both of them to flower to see the difference in fruit and flower.

i dont know how expensive it would be for a lot of the online plant sellers to update their pics.. if they need to condense or save space they should just use divided pics,and could show more detail as well . originality..originality...originality. like i said before luckily i managed to get my hands on several copyrighted iholena pics. i cant post em here... i think there may be enough of us posting new pics on this site and other sites to do a halfway decent job of banana identification.

Re: Kru
I have some pictures I have taken of another of my Red Iholena mats, and some updated Kru pictures. I hope they help.

Re: Kru
I haven't really followed this thread, but I saw that 'Iholena Lele' ('Red Iholena') bunch photos were requested. Here are some. It is a totally different cultivar from 'Kru'.

Re: Kru
Thank you Gabe,
I though the Iholena Lele was the White Iholena. I will take pictures of my White Iholena sometime this week, and you'll see the source of my confusion on that point. Your Iholena Lele looks like my White Iholena. Yours looks really good, especially the fruit! |

Re: Kru
'White Iholena' is a little bit of a mystery, but likely it is a less colorful mutation/tissue culture sport of 'Iholena Lele' (syn. 'Red Iholena/Iholene').

Re: Kru
Here is my Red Iholene in the center of the picture (the tallest ones) and Kru (from Tony) to the right of it (with the red stem).

Hi Gabe15 How come only the second pic of your red iholene photos has a red p-stem and petiole. |
