I know nothing about them personally since I'm not growing any of them. For reference, they say Dwarf Brazilian, Rajapuri, and other Pome varieties take more like 170 days to mature when grown in warm areas near sea level in Hawaii.

I can vouch for the Pome varieties taking 6 months to mature. I have 5 bunches that are 2 months apart. All fuited between August and October. The earliest one looks to be about a month to month and half til they are ready.
Yug's Ae Ae took about 4.5-5 months to harvest.
