There are several members who have tasted and grown both, and they report that the true ice cream isn't that great after all.

I think you've got some great varieties, but who couldn't use more. Have you considered FHIA-1 or SH-3640? I'm growing both and they have been pretty vigorous in SW Florida. (Still waiting for first fruit to ripen though)

Like you I'm also curious about FHIA-3. I would like to start growing it. ECHO nursery down here had it last spring, but I haven't been there in awhile.
