Are you growing a "Topaz"?

I was wanting to get feedback from other growers.
I know there are several dozen of these grafted Topaz plants out there... and if you have one I would like to know your opinion so far.
Topaz has a very sweet passionfruit-like taste... very tender and juicy... with none of the battery-acid taste of your standard Pitangatubas.

Here's one I found today while watering... still green but quite large:




Here's a couple of ripe ones:





Topaz fruits don't turn the bright lemon color of Pitangatubas... but instead a golden-chartreuse.
If you have one... let me know what you think.
Thanks.

I saw this today on AL.com:

https://www.al.com/news/2025/04/ag-steve-marshall-announces-restraining-order-against-alabama-company-for-deceptive-acts.html

A temporary restraining order has been filed against a Baldwin County company for alleged deceptive acts, according to Attorney General Steve Marshall.

A release from the attorney general’s office alleged that AKME Gardens lied to customers by falsely claiming that it was certified to sell nursery products and seeds in Alabama.

Also, the attorney general’s office said that several consumer complaints have been filed against the company dating back to 2021.

Efforts to reach the company or identify an attorney representing the company were not immediately successful.


The complaints allege the company scammed customers by taking payments without providing products.


“Making false claims to trick buyers into spending large sums of money without delivering a product is not only unfair but illegal under Alabama’s consumer protection laws,” Marshall said.


“In this case, by falsely claiming to be an Alabama-certified nursery, this business also puts our entire agriculture industry at risk by opening the door to harmful plant pests that could cost farmers and consumers. These actions are a serious threat to our community,” said Attorney General Marshall.
“We urge any consumers who have been affected by this company to immediately contact the office.

Due to the alleged actions by AKME Gardens the company faces 37 violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, a statute protecting consumers from dishonest business practices.
According to court records, the case has been deemed confidential.

Found this interesting article (Health magazine) about Guavas... Who knew?

"Fruits typically aren’t a good source of protein. However, guava is an exception. Guava is a tropical fruit that provides 4.21 g of protein per cup, making it one of the highest protein fruits you can eat.
This sweet and tangy high-protein fruit is exceptionally high in vitamin C, with one cup packing 376 mg, or over 400% of your daily needs for this nutrient. Vitamin C functions as a powerful antioxidant in the body, protecting cells against oxidative damage. It’s also required for the synthesis of the mood-regulating neurotransmitter dopamine and the production of collagen, the most abundant protein in the body."

And this USDA Guava data:
