Default Re: Is Apple, Manzano, Brazilian, Pome and Silk the same cultivar

You are right in that there is no real official correct names for anything, its basically just lists of synonyms, but there is still an order to it. I don't know anything about 'Kalela', but if it is a sport of 'Dwarf Brazilian' (there are actually quite a few different forms even), then it would not be synonymous with 'Hawaiian Apple' because being a sport, it should be different, and thus 'Kalela' is a perfectly fine name.

I have really slow internet and can't do the type of searches and research I would normally be able to do, so check out the MGIS and see if you can find any info.
