The other possibility is my Williams are another cavendish type which takes longer. I also wait to harvest until at least one fruit begins to turn yellow, but the fruit does seem to remain the same size for weeks before that. Sucrier and Iholena are the only types I've had so far that ripen within 100 days. Most have been 5-6 months.
