Default Re: Manzano

Tony, is this one of the plants that turned black after emptying your pool (and the one you gave me a pup from)? I remember asking you if it was Ele Ele because it was so dark. I'm wondering if the coloration on the fruit is a result of that. Having seen that plant in person, it seems right for Manzano to my relatively inexperienced eye. Here are some photos from the gallery that show Manzano:

They have relatively long, narrow leaves, with long petioles, and the more recently emerged leaves are pretty erect. That matches what I recall your plant looking like. My guess is yours is Manzano with pool-water coloration. (The pup you gave me did eventually lose that black coloration in the stem, as I think yours did, too.)
