The pstem should have some streaks of purple and pink; and the cigar & young leafs should have a bronze tint on the underside.
I have not noticed any pink on the pstem but the new leaves definitely have bronze tint, the picture is kinda hard to see, I am not saying it is a Iholena but it would have that trait.
Thanks Richard! As I feared I still have a few more feet to go, (if ive got an Iholena)ut they are amazing fast growers i put 2 footer into the ground May 15 and it is basically the same size as the one on this banana.

I believe the picture is showing the topside of the leaf. The tint should be on the backside and normally fades away after a few weeks. Also. the leaf edge should have a pinkish/reddish color that continues down the
pedoite petiole erect margin to the pstem. ... The leaf topside should be a lighter (pale) green.
