Saw this in Facebook market place......anybody tried them? Erdon lee?tr
Can't see the pics but it is probably FZS. Sweetheart is not a variety outside USA.
If I can see a pic I will know straight away. FZS has more than one selection btw.
Looks like B3,B3 is better than wai chi! As for the Florida Sweetheart same as the FZS or the Florida Hak Ip which is FSZ.

Really? I see the pix and there aint no erdon lee or FZS but scungy old kwai mai pink. 24g is chicken feed and good FZS are 40g to 50g so look at past threads on FZS on the scales I posted. Bos 3 is another name for these and they just don't cut it with the champion varieties. Why not FZS, Erdon Lee, Salathiel or even wai chi if you are going to send them to California?
Did you know Mauritius is just a selection of tai so with slightly redder skin? The Indian varieties are just not on par with the Chines ones btw.
I am just making it up LL and no one has caught me out yet.
Yes it looks like a box of Bos 3s which is the same as kwai mai pink. The positives of growing this variety are that they have low chill requirements for fruiting and fruit reliably and heavily. The fruit themselves however are not deep red, are quite small and the taste is mild with little of the richer lychee elements like rosewater flavour.
