Equally, I who am in Ecuador, can take a Gran Nain from pup to fruiting in just under 15 months, with 3 more for ripening, in ideal conditions 12 months a year (no floods, etc.) The much tastier Gros Michel Improved takes 18 months and 4 more to ripen.

It's very dependant on the cultivar and your conditions.
