It really depends on location. In Mandeville, Louisiana, due to the winters, it usually takes approx. 15 months for Orinocos to bloom (or none - sometimes they just outright die, which I have yet to understand), by which the fruit is sometimes ready around the end of November or so. I say that as 5 have already bloomed this year (all were destroyed in a recent intense storm we had). And it's not something I keep exact history of. Maybe I'll start.

That is not always the case since they don't really have a 'season' other than barely growing, somewhat growing or just outright growing. Winters are shorter in New Orleans due to the colder times being shorter overall than the Northshore and not as cold to boot. There's usually an 8 degree difference (average) between New Orleans and Mandeville in the winter because of the lake.
