In Norway we have a saying; "A dear child has many names"

I have never heard of this cultivar though.

If it tastes like brazilian, it probably is something in that neighborhood. On the other hand, there are many types of cultivars, so theoretically it could be anything.

Brazilian is known to be quite fast growing, and tolerant of cool temperatures. I have heard no reports of it beeing frost-hardy, but I guess there is no other way to find out. So fill up your suitcase and give a report!

BTW: I have allways wondered about this: Is "Apple (Manzano)" and "Brazilian" the same cultivar?
