No. The interruption of our winter (or taking them indoors in colder zones) can cause several changes in the maturation cycle of the more tropic-specific varieties. In some cases the charts you've seen will be turned on their heads in our zone with some of the faster tropic-specific breeds being slower than some of the near-tropic breeds; e.g. Namwa.
