Craig, USDA TARS FHIA-1 Real Deal Goldfinger is a very strong and stout Nana plant!.....Grows about 6 to 8 1/2 ft before flowering, considering growing conditions!.....Mine is approx. 8 1/2 ft tall right now, at flowering!....She recovered very well from last year monster hurricane Irma.....Looks very similar to her family sibling, the SH-3640 High Noon Nana in growing characteristics, conditions, but SH-3640 High Noon grows a little bit taller!.... Thank you!.....You Arboretum is awesome!....My respect to you guys up North, zone pushers!......

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
What are the know differences between the US Gold Finger and the real deal Gold Finger. I know some people say that the US Gold Finger is not the real deal but what is the difference?

I knew that was coming!......LOL.....Forum members, you guys can "chime in!"......This is just a couple of differences, it might be more...... TC Agristart FHIA-1 '"American Goldfinger" supposedly is a mutation of the original USDA TARS FHIA-1 "Real Deal" Goldfinger!.....TC FHIA-1 American Goldfinger was created by "accidentally" tissue culturing the original USDA TARS Goldfinger!.... USDA TARS FHIA-1 "Real Deal" Goldfinger flower bud has a heart shape!......It grows approx. 6 to 8 1/2 ft tall before it flowers/blooms.....Nana fruits are much bigger in size!.... TC Agristart FHIA-1 "American Goldfinger" might grow the same or a little bit taller, aprox. 8 to 10 ft before it flowers, blooms!.....Flower bud doesn't have a heart shape!.....Sometimes needs propping when flowering, blooming!......Nana fruits are smaller in size than the original USDA TARS Goldfinger!.... TC Agristart FHIA-1 "American Goldfinger" might not be the original Goldfinger but taste wise is a winner!.....You can ask forum members that are growing or tasted the TC FHIA-1 American Goldfinger, in specially my bro Ty (Tytaylor77)......It is one of his favorite Nanas!....
