Hi,

I am struggling for days on the web trying to find what kind of banana plant fruits ripen in a variety of hardiness zones such as zone 7B, 8A, 8B, 9A etc. and most important - WHEN do the fruits ripen? Aren't bananas mostly about their fruit (some decorative)? But no info WHEN the fruits ripen? For example:

MUSA DWARF NAMWAH - I find info that these are zone 8-11 plants, then another website lists them as zone 9-11 plants...hmmm, but no info whatsoever when the fruits ripen in each half-zone?

Does anyone know when Musah Dwarf Namwah fruits ripen approximately in zone 8A and 8B? Is it in August or October or...?

Thanks
