You are welcome. If possible, get ahold of some of the fruit of DB, FHIA-01, and FHIA-18 and see how you like them since taste is such a personal thing. Although a couple of influential members here don't think much of DB fruits, that contrasts with my experiences of sharing them to dozens of friends and colleagues who really like that variety -- it's the fruit to which I get the most enthusiastic responses. I'd say the main knock against DB is that it isn't that productive, in terms of bunch size or cycle time -- but it's way better in those regards than some varieties I grow, plus more tasty, more sturdy, more problem free, etc. If I could grow only one variety, it would be DB. If I could only grow only two varieties, they would be DB and one of the Pisang Awak varieties (for productivity).
