Chào quí bạn
Theo như trên mạng thì Jujubee , táo tàu có nhiều loại . Ở Texas khu nhà thờ tôi họ trồng loại Lang , trái to ăn nhạt , bở . Năm ngoái tôi xuống vườn cô Th Ðoàn mua 1 cây Sugar Cane , năm nay nó ra trái , ăn ngọt nhưng có vị hơi đắng . Bà nhà tôi ra chợ HT ở thành phố Arlington, họ bán 1 loại như hình chụp , ăn ngọt và dòn . Họ nói là táo tàu cali hay táo tròn . Cho nên tôi đăng hình này lên hi vọng bạn nào rành về Táo tàu xin cho biết . Cám ơn hai anh LNH và P .
Early Ripening
Li
Large, round fruit up to 3 ounces in mid-August. May be picked at the yellow-green stage. Tree is many-branched, yet narrow and upright. Best eaten fresh. Best first tree to have.
Mid Season
Ed Hegard
Very similar to the Lang and Thornless.
GA-866
An outstandingly sweet selection out of the Chico Research program. Large, elongated fruit.
Jin
An excellent elongated fruit. Very chewy when allowed to dry on the tree.
Globe
A new, Chinese introduction.
Honey Jar
Another new, Chinese introduction.
Lang
Large, pear-shaped fruit which must be fully colored to be best eating. This fruit is best to let dry on the tree. Tree is upright and virtually spineless.
Redlands #4
Collected at an old homestead in Redlands, California. Very large, sweet, round fruit.
So
A tree of most beautiful shape. At each node of the stem the branch decides to go off in a new direction. Hence, a very zig-zag branching pattern which casts a beautiful shadow in the wintertime. Tree is somewhat dwarfed.
Sugar Cane
Small to medium fruit which can be round to elongated. Extremely sweet fruit but on a very spiny plant. The fruit is worth the spines!
Thornless
Just as the name implies. Very few, if any spines occur. A fruit very similar to the Lang.
Late Season
Admiral Wilkes
Collected on a South Seas expedition in the 1840's and planted on the Capitol grounds in Washington, D.C. Elongated fruit which has been the very last to ripen, generally in mid to late November.
Chico (GI 7-62)
Fruit is round but flattened on the bottom. Looks like small apples. Excellent either fresh or dried.
GI-1183
Another cultivar from the Chico program. Large, sweet fruit.
Sherwood
A seedling plant from Louisiana. The fruit is very dense and sweet. Tree is very narrow and upright with leaves that are weeping in habit.
Silverhill
An elongated fruit which has cropped well even in northern Florida. Virtually spineless.
Tigerstooth
Very similar to Silverhill.
Topeka
From eastern Kansas and an excellent, late cropping fruit.
