Tigua vs other Iholena (red)
Was hoping someone would have experience or know. I hear the Tigua is a great short cycle banana. My question is all Iholena short cycle. Especially the Red Iholena?
Thanks

Re: Tigua vs other Iholena (red)
Should say I hear it is. Just from reading on here. Seems to be harder to find but you can get the red Iholena easily from TC sources. I was hoping it may be short cycle also if the Tiaua actually is. But I have no experience with either. Was hoping that someone who does would chime in.

Re: Tigua vs other Iholena (red)
I'm not growing any Iholena subgroup bananas, but the Keppler and Rust banana book says that all cultivars in the subgroup are fast cycle.

The plant has been in a few sub tropical forum members gardens for a short period of time this year so it might be too soon to evaluate just how fast this plant is....say like in my zone 5-+ garden for example. Currently my mature Viente Cohol is in no hurry to flower.....but it looks nice Hopefully, I will get some next year to do a possible side by side comparison with some other fast cycle plants. This year I could not get any plants to do this. Last edited by cincinnana : 10-04-2015 at 07:17 AM. |

Mysore 616, FHIA-17 690. IMHO, if you're growing in Florida and want large bunches in a short amount time add a Tigua to your collection.

Re: Tigua vs other Iholena (red)
PR-Giants, how do you like to use the fruit of Tigua? Cooking, dessert, or both?

Yes, Prata Ana is Dwarf Brazilian. It is not short cycle.
