I was at a nursery yesterday and they were selling Corky's Honey Delight from Monrovia. I was tempted to get it based on the description but it was $60. I researched more about it and it seems very similar to white Genoa which I have. Does anyone know if Corky's honey delight is the same as white Genoa?

Not sure, I don't think so. The Peter's Honey from Monrovia is delicious if it works for your area.

I.believe peters honey is similar to kadota.

Thank you both. I've thought about peters honey in the past but I just don't think I have enough heat here on the central coast of California to ripen it properly. The Corky's honey delight caught my eye because it is from a coastal climate of San Diego that I thought would be similar to mine.

Not the same. Corkys has a heavy, large breba crop.

hi,
60$ for a tree ? How big is the damn thing ? Does it fit in a car ?
Now, if they are the only source and the strain is worth it, go ahead ...

I know. Crazy. It's not big at all! I think it was in a five gallon.

Hi Paul, I think Peter's Honey would do well in your area. Mine does here, and I think we have similar climates.
