Balanced out my tree collection through the generosity of one of the members here who is trying to thin his herd. Alama, Portuguese dark and some more Chicago hardy.

They look good and strong even dormant!

Looking good. Can you give any info on taste on any of the Portuguese variants? I have been looking at a few and kinda want to know a little more about them before I spend a bunch of money trying to acquire any.

 Jeff, The taste is as with many, a function of the type and the growing conditions.  I like the the taste of the dark Portuguse one, but I have had some from New Bedford, MA area that were better and some that were worse.
