I think the original poster wanted the
full cycle from plant to ripened fruit.
FDutchman then talks about fastest
from flower to ripe fruit(ripening).
I guess PitanDiego was correct:
"Tough question. Depends on cold tolerence, length of season, etc."

We need to break it down to what zones
theyre being grown in.
Please chime in and let us know.

Yes,yes,yes.
Split up by zones. Maybe made into a sticky so it stays on top. Maybe people could add at what point the named plants started pupping. For instance. I have a Orinoco with 4 pups. It's only 2 feet tall. Is that normal? If another member posted different results, then you could break it down by other factors. Amount of sun, fertilizer, watering,pot size,etc. What month did it flower, how many leaves, how tall,etc? In the lower zones it would be important to know how the plant was over wintered to achieve the results. This could be a great resource to help more people become successful. This could be really fun!
