The best purple i have tasted came from central vietnam, the best green gold i have tasted came from burma and madagascar. I have been gravely disappointed with camito grown here in Florida, even the Lara farm green was mediocre. I have been growing camito for 20 years in Boca raton & Parkland properties and I have chainsaw down 20 so plus varieties purchased at PIN, Frankie, lara , excalibur, etc; for what ever reason Florida climate or soil does not produce a flavorful fruit nor productive tree. The one I have in Hawaii & Fiji were superior to my florida trees even though its the same cultivars brought back.
And yes I have came to the same conclusion that the Hatian cultivar is uninspiring to put it mildly. Camito is my favorite fruit and of late the only tree still left standing in my grove collection, g is the Green Emerald from Hawaii which i found better than the common jacob green popularize by those rfc people a few year back. So from my experiences, its not the color of the fruit, its our Florida Climate or soil that is not producing the flavor profile we have came to expect from tasting fantastic camito in the best far flung tropic. I recall on a dive trip in Belize, fishing in Costa Rica & colombia this year; some of the wild trees we ran into were superior to any of my own best selection. So it has to be something in our soil or climate that ghe Sunshine state is not becoming a camito growing region of the world. On the plus side I sm replacing my 19 camito trees with tampoi angulata and tampoi macro... Species... I am recently hook on them from diving trip in Indonesia, wish me luck
