Black Ethiopian was actually not a good producer for me, it had very few fruits on a quite short plant...

Iva, have you seen the interesting thread here at Tville about Black Bear, which is a rename of another variety as the thread shows?
let me fetch it:

Black Ethiopian is also another rename since it was brought to Ethiopia no doubt when the Russians occupied the country for all those years and b'c there are no dark varieties that originated in Ethiopia.
My former student Tadesse Wuhib picked up two types for me when he was able to go back to Addas Abba, he had claimed asylum in the US along with his uncle who was the Bishop of Ethiopia whom I met when Tadesse graduated, and he got them in the market place there and we cleverly named one Tadesse and the other one Wuhib.
