Does anyone In cooler areas ever have a problem with these things not filing out properly? not just sucrier... i seem to See that a lot Of this mostly in bananas with red coloring on the p stem. A lot of aa/ aaa etc. I had 2 gran nain with approx 190 fruit between the two that didnt get as big as I hoped. I think I recall someone in florida having similar issues.
I get the impression that is pretty common with some varieties. For example, the Dwarf Brazilian in warm Hawaii get way bigger than those grown here in cool Ventura. I've never seen a full size Cavendish here, either.
