I wouldn't say they are all that similar. The fruit of both have some tartness, but that's about it for similarities. Manzano is a taller, more slender plant, with a smaller bunch. FHIA-18 has droopier leaves. Manzano fruit are essentially inedible until very ripe, at which point the can be excellent, or not. If I could only grow one of those two, I'd choose FHIA-18, but I'm growing both for now.
