I planted my Ice Creams in March and they sent out flag leaves in May of the following year, and the fruit was ready to eat in September and...well...I've got about 12 bananas left. YMMV, based on whether you get an actual freezes where you are.

I fertilized those plants once a month with a mix roughly 12:19:14, and I followed others' advice to not let the fertilizer come into contact with the trunk.

I also regularly culled the pups so there was only one pup per each plant.

Good luck.
