Ok, so I havent read pretty much any of this thread, but from what Ive seen, there seems to be some confusion as to what is supposed to be different about 'California Gold' as opposed to regular 'Dwarf Orinoco'. Even though the plants and fruit may be the same, thats not what is meant to be different, the thing that is supposed to be different is its cold hardiness which has no relation to plant morphology. Im not supporting or denying anything, Im just putting it out there that it can indeed have different genetic while appearing the same as another plant. Its in the way it grows, not the way it looks or what kind of fruit it produces.
