It is likely the Ma'afala variety that is tissue cultured here. It's supposed to fruit in a few years and it has. National Tropical Botanical Garden - Tropical Plant Research, Education, and Conservation.

I've been to that botanical garden before on Maui where they have literally dozens of types from all over the world. There is so much they'll let you just take fruit. I tried maybe 4 different ones and I found the differences pretty subtle. I'm kind of scared how big mine will get in 20 years because I don't really have the room for it.
