The fruit taste pretty good, like crystal.  The tree still too small to share Scion this year, maybe next year.

I am impress with all the varieties that you are growing.  Great job 👏 👏

Among all the trees that I have, only one is flowering so far.  Last year, it flowered but not fruit.  Hope I could get at least one this year.

The latest new variety I know is black sugar wax apple.  Have not idea of the dark dragon.  From the picture they don't look anything special.  Could it be just name it different for selling purpose.

Vietnamese nurseries have bad habit of renaming annoyas, wax apple, etc... 

CalMei renaming varieties is going to be a nightmare.

I have mixed feelings about the use of trademark names but don't believe it is cause for any great concern.  The vast majority of fruit being purchased is from consumers who are not involved in growing fruits themselves and their interest is centered in the enjoyment of fresh fruit.  We have many different fruits that are sold with trademark names such as Sumo citrus, Pink Lady apples, etc.  I see grapes sold with interesting names and have no idea if they have other names but buy them and enjoy them.  What about the naming causes you concern?

You are not a grower nor a collector just want enjoy the fruits, then it is not an issue. 
Many of us here are collector, this is a nightmare to us.
