The orchard that had these for sale didnt know the name of them, only knew these as a wild cherry. I had to be educatin the natives on what they be growing. I feel like Capt Cook, or a Missionary

Yah, the often have different names for things. They call Ambarella a "Vi Apple" there. I ate a Vi Apple there one time and it took me forever to figure out what it was. Also, passion fruit is called lilikoi, but its the orange ones generally.

Here is a good link describing lilkoi

Hmmm... it looks like that technically is the "yellow" variety. I tried growing the yellow one here in Phoenix and it didn't do near as well as the Frederick. In fact it never even flowered.
