Eugenia uniflora: zill black VS black star

[Eclissato]

Hello everyone, is there someone who could describes me which one tastes better berween (the original) zill black and black star? Or what is the difference between their flavourness?

[Kevin Jones]

Never tasted a Zill.... But I have tasted a great many Black Stars. They have a grape-like taste when perfectly ripe.. sort of like a muscadine. Very juicy too.

I don't know Black Star at all, but I do grow Zill Dark (not sure if that is the same as Zill Black).

Zill Dark makes a good-flavored, sweet fruit and bears heavily.  We find that if we pick them ripe and refrigerate them for a few days, they develop very much the flavor and texture of a good black sweet cherry.

Sounds good.
I have several Zill progeny seedlings.
They should be blooming soon.

Do these varieties gro true to type from seed? I have Zull back hopefully flowering this year. I have never seen black star before.
