Mike, when he does have fruit, I can sample them for myself before putting the final judgement as to its edibility. As far as I know, the purely M. balbisiana have not been planted that much in California backyards. It was available through the internet a few years back, and it seems that the mat has been a lot longer than when M. balbisiana became widely available online. Of course there is that possibility that M. balbisiana was there ahead of the availability from the internet and no one knew about it.
