I haven’t really even seen any pictures of this variety flowering, so I took some pics as well as stats. This is my first bunch of these so I am excited to try!
I got this plant from Ty as a tissue culture in the fall of 2019 and planted spring 2020. Pic is from December 2019:
Planted March 2020!

She sent up a flag 13 months after planting at around 9 1/2 feet tall, but subsequent pups will definitely get much taller, probably between 12 and 15 feet tall before flowering. This variety is tall and skinny, so it needs support and would definitely benefit from a location sheltered from wind, i.e., in between two houses (as long as it gets sun), or surrounded by stronger banana varieties to help block wind. The leaves have an erect habit, as well as a pinkish, reddish hue to the petioles and midrib. The color is most pronounced in young pups. The bottoms of the leaves on young pups also have a rust colored hue.
I will be updating this thread showing the progress of the bunch as well as any other things I notice about this variety. If you grow this variety and have tips or pictures of it, feel free to post them here!
