The pups had an average height of 2.5 feet when set out. They were starting to harvest bananas in October of that growing season"

This was about a cultivar called Veinte Cohol. Has anyone ever heard of/ had experience with this?

There's quite a bit about it on Google.
You set out the pup and plant it on April and harvest the fruit in November?
That is only 8 months from planting to harvest.
That is way too fast don't you think? Is it believable?
