It is supposed to be Dwarf Orinoco but fruited at 11' and I don't know what it is. The Raja Puri I bought from them is also questionable as well, though it does look somewhat like it (don't know how well fruit will ripen since it's getting cool here). The mix-up on the D.O. must have been at an early stage as the tiny pots have the variety printed right on them. I don't know what I have at this time, but it might be better than D.O., but was slow to fruit since it's such a tall plant.
How many people have fruited plants bought from Wellspring? I'm just wondering if my problem was a fluke or not. I still have Sugarloaf pineapple and a T.R. Hovey papaya from them that are small so the jury is out on those.

The Bananas and Pineapples I got from him are not of age to fruit yet, still need some time. The Pomegranate's are all more then trippled in size in one year, and currently have TONS of flowers and buds on them. They are also been flowering throught out the year. I did have one Pomegranate make a small fruit but the rain pulled it off the plant. I have 8 Dwarf Pomegranate from him.
