They look close...I’m growing about 10 seedlings directly from Bill Whitman’s original ‘Ross’ introduction from 1968. I look forward to seeing what differences may occur between them since Ross is generally grafted. Nice to see Shot has some direct specimens from Bill. Were they all grafted?
My ross fruits more often with bigger crops than my canistel.
As stated above, after Ross, the next best IMO is Fairchild 2. I have had good examples of Trompo and Aurea but definitely not 100% consistent as top quality.Oscar (Fruitlovers) supposedly has a very good selection but I haven't tried it.
