The fruit of those varities take a lot longer to ripen than a dwarf cavendish, veinte cohol, etc., but these varieties do not require the heat and humidity of the latter.
What is the cycle length for a GM? (From pup to bloom/bloom to fruiting)?
I was offered a Patupi by someone here, is that a cultivar of GM or something totally different? It's supposed to be very short cycle.
