Title: Is this El Bumpo?
Post by: jezo on March 31, 2022, 01:04:21 AM

Hallo, I bought a grafted tree from a Spanish nursery. I grow it in the ground in greenhouse, 6 years. Several pieces ripen for the first time. The fruits look a little different, as in the web pictures...

It does look similar to El Bumpo however here is a picture from the University of California Riverside for comparison. As you can see, the photo has more pronounced protuberances.

Yes, I compared my fruits with similar pictures. There are two options:
- the seller does not have the right variety
- the shape of the fruit may be affected by my growing conditions
