I don't know, but I don't think so. Mine was sold to me by a reputable nursery as Dwarf Orinoco, but it isn't. It's flowering again, at 11' of pstem.
I'm sure for most everyone else, these Bluggoe varieties would ripen faster, but we just don't get enough heat where I live for them to mature quickly. During the warmest part of the year, our average highs are in the low 70's and we have cool nights. Maximal banana growth occurs in the mid 80's.
