Default Re: I pulled out my Manzano.

I would love to provide photos of the plant but like I said, I pulled them out. They do have a nice subacid flavor which I like.

9' fruiting height? That doesn't sound like manzano. Mine fruited at 12-14'. Thin PS that has broke on me many times before I could get fruit to ripen. To finally taste fruit I moved the plant next to a palm tree. When the plant flowered I strapped the PS to the trunk of the palm tree. That way it couldn't fall over or break. I have photos of the fruit. But it just looks like a small Manzano. I don't get a lot of heat so most of my fruit is a little small.

In my opinion the fruit tastes fine but their just isn't enough of them. And the tree is a pain to grow making it not worth it. There are many better varieties.
