Re: How close do Manzano's and Brazillians in taste?
According to the Kepler & Rust book, Manzanos in Hawaii just don't taste as good as they do grown elsewhere. I have one growing too, still no flower. My plan is to wait and at least taste the fruit that I've grown to decide whether to keep it or not. I'm pretty sure I've had them accidentally when buying what I thought were Hawaiian Apples. Sometimes you get bananas that look like they're ripe but they have an awful, chalky texture, are astringent, and are so awful I have to throw out the rest. I'd know better now that you have to let them ripen much more than DBs. In the book, the authors take a pretty strong stand against them, and I believe mention that they are more disease prone than DBs. Taking their opinion and my own experience into account, I'd still rather at least wait and taste my own after being fully ripened.
