Nice plant Greenie! Mine is starting to take off also, all this rain sure has helped! I can't post a pic from my iphone though. I'm thinking of setting up a web cam, so I can view my yard while Im on the road.

Hey Greenie do have an update on the Senorita. I know this is an old post. I looked in your gallery and did not see it. This could be because I was in amazement at all you had there. I would love to here if it's true on the speed of growth and fruit maturity. How do you aw for get it. You are the man.

HA! You know what I considered setting up a cam so that I can look at my small little nanners!

How about an update from all the Senorita growers?

I apologize for letting this post go by.
I grew the Senorita out to about 7 feet and decided to remove it to make room for something else.The Senorita grew quick and fast with purkey long leaves and a good trunk,a little slender and thin for a plant but an overall good looking plant.It did well in the winter.My buddy Brian(Nananman), did get a bunch from his plant and I tasted a couple of fruit that were VERY SWEET! I don't recall him telling me it was "40 days" like some say.

Is the taste OK to you or something else? Can you compare this to Manzano? Can the tree flower perhaps in less than a years' time? I am still very curious with this tree.

Benny,
This fruit does NOT taste like a Manzano ,its a very sweet fruit(good taste) and it produced a bunch in less than a year.

Thanks! Is there anyway I can buy a pup from you? Or trade with a Calif gold?

I do think this is the most elusive plant ever. Never found a reliable source for it in Europe, neither i know anyone that has.
