I was offered a Patupi by someone here, is that a cultivar of GM or something totally different? It's supposed to be very short cycle.
It is not a GM cultivar, something totally different.

Cycle length is affect by genetics and the environment, in a complicated way. For example, a cultivar that is "normal" cycle in the tropics, like Cavendish, is long cycle in my climate, whereas Namwah, which is on the long side in the tropics isn't much longer in my climate. The result is that they have about the same cycle length in my climate.
