Here is the info I saw:
Musa Patupi - Bananas Wiki

Vudu Papua (PNG004) (ITC-0590) - Papua New Guinea
Patupi (PNG225) (ITC-0848) - Papua New Guinea
Huki West - Solomon Islands

Time To Bloom - 5 to 7 months
Bloom To Harvest - 5 to 6 weeks
Mature Height - 2 to 2.5 meters

Sounds almost perfect for indoors (winter) / outdoors (summer) in Ohio, if this info is accurate?
Looks like time to bloom +time to harvest = 264+- days

Our grow zone6 is 170+- days frost to frost....

If you decide to put the plant under lights( 250$+-) you will be pressed to have fruit you can even eat.


Are you willing to spend 350.00+- for one banana??
