FHIA18 or SH360?
 

I had them next to each other during winter storage and one of them died and the labels fell off. Now it is flowering and I think it is FHIA18 because it was always a faster grower and seemed more sturdy but I would like to make sure.
Unfortunately it just flowered and unlikely to ripen before the first frost here which is usually end of November unless I am really lucky.
Can you please help me confirm if it is FHIA or SH?
I have a pup that I will store and I would like to know which one I am storing over winter.

Thanks

Kinda looks like sh 3640. FHIA 18 plant wise looks just like FHIA 3 but with a splotchy pstem. Cant hardly tell much on this phone i am using.

Thanks, any other confirmation?

Re: FHIA18 or SH360?
 

When the flower opens, how many petals open at once and how do they open? Do they open flat or curl? 3640 open 2 at a time and they curl up before dropping, plus the male flower is heart shaped.
Hard to tell by flower shape until after a few males open.At this time I would say FHIA 18.

3640 also has less curve to the fruit, going from memory...

I can’t see the pstem too well but does it have the dark brown splotches on it? If so then it’s sh-3640. Here is how you tell the fhia-18 from the SH-3640!

Fhia-18 is all reddish green with NO dark brown splotches on the pstem!

The SH-3640 has lots and lots of dark brown/black splotches all up and down the pstem.

The Fhia-03 is easy. It is bright sold green!! No brown/black splotches. Solid green pstem and the base is MASSIVE! hard to miss on the real sweetheart.

If you have more than very minor brown/black splotches on your fhia18 or fhia03 then you are not growing the real deal.

Hope I helped.
