FYI, I have a tissue cultured acerola tree from Agristarts and another that I grew from a 'Florida Sweet' cutting from a reputable seller. I cannot tell a difference. I've seen speculation on this forum before that there may be no difference. Adam made some comment in the past that his Echo Sweet's "flavor is almost identical to the other types we can find commonly in FL". You might not be missing anything at all by getting a cheap tissue culture Acerola. I say this as someone who would be very interested in finding an improved cultivar, as I really like the fruit.
