All valid points, White Jade is a low acid sweet variety and will definitely be the maternal parent for any breeding attempts. I'm looking for high Brix readings because I need data that can be measured.
Oscar, do you think the Kona Sugarloaf is similar to the White Jade?
I used to breed Show guppies, Discus, Bettas and Flowerhorns. In any breeding program, I've learned it's best to pick a single attribute you want to set and breed before breeding in other traits. I've selected Brix as the focus of any potential future breeding projects because as I see it, even a highly acidic, high Brix variety crossed with a low acid high Brix variety(White Jade) and then back crossed to the low acid high Brix variety will give me something that is reasonably acidic with high Brix.
Maybe I can ask for everyone's opinion for the best tasting ultra sweet variety, find the top rated ones and cross those to the White Jade and then select for the best tasting offspring that tastes the best and sweetest? A guppy breeder can see the fault in this second method.
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to pineapples so any recommendations on the best tasting ultra sweet variety of pineapples that is not patented would be greatly appreciated. Any Brix readings are an added bonus because sweetness is so subjective without a reading. Thanks in advance!
