The one FHIA-02 (Mona Lisa) I have (from Going Bananas) looks like the real deal, but is also one of my slowest growers. Yes, probably something about the climate, as all AA and AAA varieties I have are slow for me. That said, I only have one of these in my small yard, and it's not in a great spot, so I have a poorly designed and unreplicated experiment. Not much better than hearsay. Which I think would be the problem with an Org database -- poor study design, little replication, and probably a lot of misidentified varieties. That said, I'm interested in the concept, but personally would use it with several grains of salt!
