I believe so. If no significant difference is noted in warm weather, I see no reason to expect a difference in cooler weather. If a modest difference was noted in warm weather, I might expect a bigger difference in marginal conditions. I've seen no report of a difference in cooler weather. In 2009 I had 3 bunches and left the bud on my 1 Dwarf Brazilian but it didn't ripen very well at all, but the other 2 were different varieties so it really isn't comparable. It may help to cut off the bud but it might not. It would be great to have someone with enough plants with fruit to do a comparison.
Have you counted the fingers yet?
