Default Re: cool hardy sucrier types

I've grown Nino,Senorita, and am still growing Datil. So far I'm not real impressed with the flavor of either. Maybe because of the climate, the flavor doesn't develop fully, or maybe what I taste is how they are supposed to be. Don't get me wrong, they are good! Just sweet and a little bland. But I guess I just prefer bananas with more sub-acid flavor.The Senorita also took a bit longer to produce and ripen it's fruit than is reported in the tropics.. I'm also growing the Rose, and just as Gabe said, they are vigorous and produce fast! Can't tell ya what they taste like yet, this will be the first harvest.

The first picture is from May 30th.
Rose





This is 2 mo. later, now the pup from the first picture has a flower, and this bunch is about twice that size.
