Productivity varies by:
(1) Hybrid cultivar
(2) Local environment
(3) Feeding program

Having only 2 out of 3 can result in either small harvests, or infrequent harvest, or poor quality fruits, or some combination thereof.

In particular, be aware that some hybrid cultivars will always produce small harvests of very modest size bananas.
