It is Hawaii specific or places have acidity soil, but said lime or dolomite applied annually should make the fruit edible. When one of the authors were doing research in PR they thought the Manzano was better than Brazilian till they got to Hawaii. It also stated that if you see a weak sucker knock it off. That goes w/o saying.. People get older & wiser.. I'd grow it just since once it flowers the fruit is ready much faster than Braz..
