Here is a picture of Royal Hillbilly (the left container) and Amazon Chocolate (right container). They are about the same age, both grown in peat moss, same disease and bugs sprays, same fertilizer, Same amount of sun, they both get their flowers shaken with an electric toothbrush.
So far they are both wonderfully disease free! I am very happy with both plants, thick lush green foliage. You can see that Amazon Chocolate on the right is quite a bit taller. What you can't see is that Royal Hillbilly has 4 fruit... Amazon Chocolate has 28! They have about the same number of flowers, but Amazon Chocolate sets more fruit. Maybe Royal Hillbilly fruit is 7 times tastier.... or has a huge surge in production later in the season.... so far they are both disease resistant winners, but I like Amazon Chocolate a bit better. big thanks to Raybo for the Container suggestions.
