Theoretically, but you would really have to use the darkest magic. Bananas produce, when they are old enough, their fruiting conditions are optimal and they want to fruit.
Other than that it's difficult to "time" them. I will give it a thought and try.
But when you talk about spring harvest, the conditions in winter should be spring or summer like. And that's difficult to achieve.
