Your 'Misi Luki' is fine, it is acting normal. The bunch is a little on the small side, but that is because of a lack of nutrition and/or water.

Your 'Manzano' on the other hand, is not acting normally. I have seen this happen before, and it is usually not an issue of lack of nutrition or water directly. It could be a bad off-type mutant, or is something that is expressed under certain environmental conditions. If you can spare the space, keep it going and see how the next bunch comes out. If you don't want to deal with it, you should get a new plant and try again.

Also, your 'Manzano' actually looks more like 'Brazilian', but its a little hard to tell for sure since there is no fruit.
