Hi mIEKAL,

I think I gave you the LSU Improved Celeste a few years back.  I got my 
original plant from Just Fruit and Exotics in FL.  I agree with your 
assessment.  I also like LSU Gold from the same source.

A number of the LSU introductions have been officially named--Hollier and 
O'Rourke are a couple of names that come to mind although I'm not sure 
which, if either correspond with the above.
