Default Re: sword vs water sucker - pictures

Found this in Julia Morton's Fruits of Warm Climates. "Sword suckers of plantains have yielded 54,984 fruits per acre (135,866 fruits /ha); water suckers, 49,021 fruits per acre (121,132 fruits/ha)." I would have thought there would have been a bigger difference, but only one study.
