Now I get it. Yes, there are a lot that aren't mentioned.

I would reiterate the point that where you grow bananas will affect the relative time to harvest. A variety that is fast relative to another one in the tropics may be slow relative to that same other variety in a temperate area. A pair that come to mind that are like that are Cavendish and Namwah. Namwah is faster to fruit for me in my temperate climate than Cavendish varieties, but the two are about the same in the tropics, based on that list.

But the more information the better. It's just worth trying to keep track of what climate and growing conditions it came from.
