The bottom plant looks more Mysore than Manzano to me. You will know in a week or 2. Great bunches! Was this one planted around April also?
Thanks for the tip. I'll leave the bud alone.
How do you normally know when and if you should remove the bud? For next time.

All three plants were planted at same time in April, were from the same seller, and of the same age (size).

Here's a better image of the current plants.
The only one that has yet to fruit is the short one which by deduction might likely be the Manzano. It's either a slow grower or a dwarf.





Each plant has 1 pup, and I work to keep it that way.
