That list was made in Puerto Rico and is riddled with errors. I grow in Puerto Rico and don't use the data in that list, some of the basic "Flower to Harvest" data is very inaccurate, 7 weeks early on some and 3 weeks late on others.

I prefer to read properly done studies.

BTW in the tropics, a Namwa grows slower and also takes 6 to 7 weeks longer from "Flower to Harvest" than a Cavendish.
