Bope it is just too impossiblem there are too many variables in this equation. The bottom line here is there are 45 leaves from sucker to cone. So many plants grow are different rates because of their environment and treatment. It is jut oo hard to tell. I have had an orinoco fruit in 12 months and months then because of a winter take an xtra 6-8 months and from the same patch of trees. As far as telling the kind of banana it is also to hard. There are so little distinguishing marks to tell different banana plants apart from others. Even if you had already produced so many leaves and you hit a cold winter that slows everything down then that ruins your ETA for mature plants. Once the night temperatures reach 50°F the plant stops growing. So if you go thru weeks or a month of low temsp your trees will just sit there and look back at you waiting. It is just too hard and impossible to tell.
