I call sunset the redder denser ones like this but there is no doubt a range sailing under the banner of solo. I think hey are from the early 1960's in Hawaii with sunset and solo from the same cross. I wonder if they are the same as how they started.
They are still one of the best and can hold their own with some of the fanciest bisex reds.
I saw Linday and her partner (Rob?) at Rusty's eyeballing some second rate durians today and had breakfast with BMc after doing a few laps of Rusty's. The king and queen were present and those who say mango is queen are just plain mistaken.
There is no need to defend durian it is a heavy hitter and maybe a cultured palate is required to appreciate its cache and finesse.
Zimmern mad a fuss about a crunchy soursop,over-ripe black sapote and a paxton prolific that looked like an over-ripe runt.He obviously has no moral high ground on fruit.

Love his show, he has a show on the travel channel. It's called Bizarre Food, where he travels around the globe sampling different cuisines, from different regions. He has tried all kinds of things from the common to the not so common and just plain unimaginable items.
He can eat almost anything, but Durian isn't one of them. So, he's not going to be in the Durian lover's club anytime soon.

You had me until 'very low fiber.' Nevertheless, it's a beautiful looking and all around good fruit variety.
sure is purty, starling!
My mouth still hasn't been introduced to a KP!

Cold stress will cause mine to drop its leaves. So far this season, I have a nice crop, unfortunately it looks like I have about 25% leaf drop. Hopefully the fruits will develop good flavor.
Wish we really had good raspberries here..would love to hear about new varieties for south florida.
I grew mysore and it grew like crazy- the canes were like razors though- you needed to wear armor just to prune the darn thing.
And the berries tasted really bad- I pulled out the whole thing.
I planted some blackberries- 2 varieties- its the second year and the canes finally grew - hopefully Ill get to taste some fruit before the squirrels
That is mis-identified starling as the leaves can be as big as dinner plates, runners can be as long as a house and the can stretch up to the rainforest canopy. Leaves should be pale centred and fruit are full of fibre. The grow just up the road from me. The pictured one is a standard edible species perhaps from the same source as mine.
Qld raspberry is usually meaning the wild Atherton raspberry that is a small non caning prickly bush in the mountains around here, Fruit can be gritty and have little taste.
Here is the same bunch of flowers as before with ripening fruit.
