After having a couple flowers late in the year, I have finally had some bananas flower in the summer! We had a mild winter in Savannah and it made a difference.
One of my Viente Cohol's flowered last month, and the fruit, though very small, are plumping nicely. It seems to me they are already starting to turn a yellower shade of green. I'm planning on leaving these on until they are definitely yellow, or until the yard critters find them

My California gold flowered just after the other, but it is showing no signs of plumping.

And my Sweetheart has just started blooming the last 2 weeks.

Does anyone know how long these take to ripen?
