The nanners I'm actively considering are SDC, DC and TT.

Comments/suggestions?

The double mahoi isn't awful, but as far as fruit goes it isn't that interesting. The multiple pendicules are one of the man reasons people grow it. The fruit isn't much better than a grocery store cavendish.

Since I live in Florida I can grow many varieties in ground So I rather grow something I can't get at the grocery store.
