I'm wondering if the original TT corm from Truly Tropicals was actually a Cavendish and if jeffreyp was given faulty info (I don't think he's said that he personally ate the fruit himself to verify the Brazilian flavor, I think he just received info from Truly Tropicals long ago and then shared that info here).
If Agri-Starts has had the same clone line going from that original corm this whole time, then if the TT tc's from Agri-Starts are Cavendish now, the original would have been a Cavendish, too. I think the current TT tc's from Agri-Starts are Cavendish. It's possible that the original corm was Brazilian and that Agri-Starts replaced it with an SDC sport somewhere along the way, but it seems more likely that the original corm was Cavendish and that there was just some early miscommunication about it being Brazilian.
