Re: Who is growing Namwah?
That's interesting Gabe. I don't recall taking pictures of the adult bunches but I certainly will get some pics this time around!
Interesting story about my acquisition of these plants. They came from the same place as my Reds and Tall Brazilians, only they were supposed to be "Cambodians" taken from the small plot of land that the local Cambodian Shaman rented from them. This place had quite a few managers come and go and these particular plants were not labeled so they may be something other then what the Shaman was growing, or it's also possible that the Shaman was growing something other then Namwah. The fruits do taste strikingly similar to my Brazillian/Hawaiian Apples so maybe they are Manzano. The size of the p-stems is smaller than then my Brazilians so I'm pretty sure that's not what they are. Thing is, I don't remember them ever having anything growing there other than Jamaican Reds, Hawaiian Apples, Ice Cream, Cardaba, Dwarf Cavendish, and whatever the Shaman was growing. But my Orinoco was one of the three plants sold to me as Cambodian so maybe these plants came from Charlie's house where he grew some different ones than what they grew at the nursery.
BTW, I have never distributed any of them due to not knowing what they are. This is the major reason for wanting to either ID them or junk them.
EDIT: Just to be clear, Charlie is the owner of the nursery.
