My line of thinking is that when the plant "determined" what the bunch/finger characteristics were going to be, the environmental conditions were more ideal than other times of the year.
But then again, as you stated above, this particular plant is thriving on neglect. So perhaps its just the luck of the draw, or the plant was trying to find a way to get your attention.

I don't think it's about luck, but the different lengths are more noticeable with this cultivar.
Sometimes I forget that things need to be very clear on the org.

Because it didn't need it.
This plant was never neglected and had more than what was needed to produce huge healthy bunches.
It is better to do the things that the plant actually needs opposed to spending time and
money on things that are unnecessary.
The advantage of growing bananas in the tropics is that our summer is not hot and winter not cold.
