Put it in whichever spot will have the least wind, although all your spots look pretty out in the open. None have a texture like a cavendish and they're each quite different from each other. They're all sweet, but Mysores are also very tangy. None are really as sweet as a cavendish.
Well, now I'm questioning if I should scratch the Raja Puri for a Dw. Cavendish since you mentioned Raja Puri (and others) may not be as sweet. I like the store Cavendish (texture) and hear home grown is all that much better.
Can you tell me the fruit size difference between the Dw. Cavendish and Raja Puri. Also, how would you describe the texture differences?
Thanks for any info.
