Kent:
I suspect that you have the same temperature during the summer months as Harvey or Joe Real. They live in Isleton and Davis respectably. Harvey just indicated he has 4 or 5 bunches ready now and Joe Real I have seen his bananas growing like crazy in person during the summer months (and fruiting) even though they had problems with their bananas dying during the winter months. But they grow back up again and fruited the next year. Whereas in Salinas, it never gets too high in the summer months for them to grow crazy because of the lower temperature. 6-10 degrees higher makes a lot of difference.
