I hope this is a good banana. I supposed to have a TC of it growing that was very cheap (along with a bunch others). Hope it is real thing. Yes I know it is not Cold hardy in zone 5/6 lol. How tall does this banana get? thanks

Some guy has been selling TC plants on eBay and calling them California Gold but they don't appear to be the real deal. I don't know of any legitimate TC plants of it, unfortunately.

It's probably a TC of Orinoco, which is under proper care is fairly cold hardy as far as bananas go. It fruits at approximately 6 foot pseudostem height.

Some of the TC plants I've seen sold on eBay have had some red in the young leaves are appear to be something other than Orinoco. I'm guessing they're whatever they had and wanted to get rid of.
