Yes, for me the misidentified ones have usually been Namwah or Pome. Just had the first harvest of one that was supposed to be Manzano, but was actually a Pome ("Brazilian" type). I have 4 plants that weren't supposed to Namwah but are, plus a couple Pome varieties that were supposed to be something else (+ 2 that were). End result, I lot less variety than I was aiming for! But at least they are varieties that do well here.
