Default Re: brazilian or dwarf brazilian?

I did'nt mean to alarm anyone about DBs taste as compared to the tall one. I'm just not a big fan of it. I've read desriptions of the tall ones as being sweet with a little sub-acid kick. The DBs I'm growing are sweet with a kind of bland banana taste. Good, but not great. This variety has other traits that I'm not fond of ( heavy puper, takes long time to mature fruit bunch ). I know that taste is subjective, so the way to really know is to grow it for yourself. I would rather have tasted it first, and not spent the couple years I have, growing it! This is where local meetups( to taste fruit and exchange plants ) would be most helpful.
