Re: 9 months minimum?, flower to mature fruit?
Thanks, Tony, that's probably it. We also have cool nights here, even in the summer, so that might also slow it down. And you're right, it seems to get frostbite easily and take a long time to regrow in the spring.
I had had high hopes for VC, but now I'm seeing much better results from California Gold, Kandarian, Dwarf Orin., Ice Cream, and Sweetheart. Kandarian is HUGE, though. I hope it doesn't tip over when it gets a full load of bananas. I have it in a 96-gallon pot, though, which is heavy.
