![]() Blue Java
Vegetative Phase 177 days Fruiting Phase 95 days Plant to Harvest 272 days The bunch and fruit size were very impressive and much larger than the data provided by the TARS. Growing techniques have a lot to do with the yield and plant to harvest duration. Their 437 days and a tall skinny plant probably didn't provide an accurate assessment. Below is some data collected at harvest by our local USDA Tropical Agricultural Research Station Pisang Abu Perak Vegetative Phase 225 days Fruiting Phase 138 days Plant to Harvest 363 days Blue Torres Strait Island Vegetative Phase 323 days Fruiting Phase 114 days Plant to Harvest 437 days
