I picked my first fruit off of the bush today. OH MY GOD!
It was a cross between a pineapple and strawberry. Mine is a generic un-named variety that I bought at the nursery here in town. They are hardy to 10 degrees and took the heat and drought this summer like champs. The best part is the spring when they produce insane looking flowers that taste like cinnamon cotton candy and are soft crunchy. Texas A&M recommends these bushes so I am glad I got some. I just ordered two off the internet last week called Mammoth and Nazemetz. You need two bushes to get decent fruit. I have seen these popping up in all the nurseries in the last few years so I am sure they will become a staple here in Texas.
