...you probably don't want your production spread out across the entire year because 1/4 to 1/2 of the crop will be temperature limited.

These guys do have the annoying habit of
always throwing the flag leaf late in the season, making for a very lengthy hang time to harvest.
Just one of the reasons for their little wintertime "tent".

Are you fertilizing more than you did in the past or maybe giving them more water,or they found the septic system ?

I did spike their normally bland springtime fertilizer with a couple tablespoons of potash & a little urea to get to a closer optimum mineral %, but I didn't dose them very heavily at all.
No septic system; city sewer & that exits the opposite side of the building. No leaky pipes, there's an access hatch under the building right by the bananas so it's easy to eyeball under there.
Might be watering more optimally; trying to get things dialed in with a couple shorter irrigation periods rather than 1 longer one.
They're extremely well drained in that location.
