For sure not a Mysore!

I agree with Gabe. I was thinking a Pome type. Now with the new pics and angle of the bunch I agree. Pome..

I have about 5 different pome clones. From dwarf/medium/tall. 2 of mine are from agristarts and one has messy bracts and male flowers stay. The other is clean. So maybe pome types mutate i go off-types fairly easy!

One of my others was from India and it has half and half! They all taste similar and have that amazing “pome” taste that I love! They are also cold hardy and grow very good here!

The only way I can tell pome from silk is the fruit shape and the male flowers. The pome flowers are “flat” on the ends and a darker purple. The silk have a totally different look at the tips of the male fingers. They also are a lighter pinkish-purple!

Not an expert description but it’s the differences I notice just comparing mine.
