It should take a few more months to finish collecting the data from the last control group. That group consists of banana plants of the same cultivar planted at the same time but only included the plants that had similar pseudostem height and similar girth measured at 1 meter to the plants that were forced to bloom early. It was not possible to collect's all of the harvest data at the same time as the experimental group because the last group still has not flowered yet and I'm not expecting them to any time soon. After the last group blooms I should have a fairly accurate idea of when the experimental group would have bloomed.
