My experience with it is that it is slow and hates my cool wet winters! Mine is still alive, but very small after nearly dying during last winter. With your warm summers, it might do well for you.

Gabe says it is just a Cavendish sport. I'd have to agree, from what I've seen -- which does NOT include fruit on mine! It is definitely not a Sucrier and doesn't look like an AA of any type to me.
