Default Re: Just had my first taste of Mysore...

Here in California, I can't taste the difference between Dwarf Brazilian and tall Brazilian fruit. I've heard the same said of plants grown in Hawaii, but haven't done the side by side comparison there.

Tall plant minuses: they blow over and snap more easily, they are harder to harvest (especially in a small, crowded yard), and they use more resources (water, fert) to grow more plant biomass while still producing the same size bunch (in the case of DB and tall Brazilian at least).

Tall plant plusses: if you want something tall, they are tall!
