From flower to ripe bananas- for a Dw. Namwah & RP-how long does it take approx. for each?

p.s. If it's relevant, the Dw.Nam is about 13-14' in height and huge flower is coming out at about 8'.

Depending on time of the year and weather, Dwarf Namwah here in San Diego has taken between 5 to 7 month from first hand of fruits to ripening and yellowing.

We're in zone 8b... SW of Houston. Wow...5-7 months?!? Is that par for the course?
What about Raja Puri?
Is it common -or late- that the DNam and RP are just now (in the last couple of weeks) putting on a flower?
ANY experiences with either would be truy appreciated!

Namwa bananas on my property are ready to harvest four months after the first hand appears. If you wait too long to harvest the bananas will split.
