What am I doing wrong, I Do great with bananas but I cannot get fruit!

In the near-tropics it takes 10-12 months. In your location, each time the soil and/or the night-time temperature is drops below near-tropic conditions for a significant amount of time, growth will slow. Then when the temperatures return it will take the plant hours or weeks to resume regular production of life functions in the corm. Consequently, you are only getting 3 to 4 net months of growth per year.
