Great offer!

I started my first Orange Manzano this year and the thing grew big until split in half by a falling branch. (The rooted half is still doing very well, thank you.) But it's acting strange. Beautiful purple bloomage all day, yet nary a pod set. Huh?

I was beginning to think it was just me DMF. My yellow manzano just got it's first microscopic pods. I've had flowers for at least 2 to 3 weeks. These things grow slower than my super hots!

I've got a question smoke. A few years ago I grew manzano, it never did well. I figured that possibly it didn't do well in the high temps and humidity that we have in OK. What's your thoughts? it was grown in a raised bed with several other varieties in the bed and they all did wonderful, huge harvest. but it stayed sickly and didn't do anything and I ended up pulling it up and tossing it.

I did a little research on them and it seems they do well in cooler climates compared to other varieties. That tells me that they probably don't do as well in the hotter climates like OK. I am thinking I will grow some out up here in Wisconsin next year and see what they are all about. They sound like a pretty good/useful variety.

I wondered if they were originally from the mountains of South America where the temps are cooler. At least that was my theory when they did so poorly for me that year.... could have been me. Thanks Bruce, you seconded my thoughts.
