No, that one is from seeds from Trade Winds. I have two of each kind going now (from you and Trade Winds). All are setting fruit, but the ones from you have set fewer fruit and have a taller, less sprawling, growth habit; and maybe somewhat bigger fruit (or the husks, anyway). It'll be interesting to see how the fruits compare. I'd just like to get to that point where I'm comparing fruit!
Tropical fruits ripen slowly in our 60's - low 70's climate. For instance, there is a dwarf Cavendish plant in my neighborhood that has had a bunch of fruit hanging for over a year now. No sign of ripening.
