I have a Julie & Glenn from the PlantItHawaii sale... the Julie is not anthracnose resistant, but is a super compact dwarf
Planted 4.5 years ago, chosen due to their dwarfing characteristics...
The Julie, a super dwarf tree I would highly recommend...even though not anthracnose resistant, has bloomed each year (pinched back the first year) and this year, the 3rd fruiting years, has had 3 flushes of flower/fruit set & is starting a 4th flower flush....ie, we have had fruit set in each of the last 3 months, so could have fruit ripening over 3 months, rather than all at once
Each of the last 2 years, one flower/fruit set, with 14, then 25 fruits... Has maintained a very compact size & shape, less than 6 feet tall without pruning
The Glenn has exceeded my expectation for growth, reached over 25ft last year & I had to prune back... and has not had any flowers... at all
