== Cultivars and selections ==

'Arkin' is a graft-propagated selection originating from seed collected in Malaysia and selected in Miami. Florida production observations describe firm, low-acid fruit and normally two crops, but those results reflect Florida-grown material rather than a universal climate response.<sup id="cite_ref-4">[[#cite_note-4|[4]]]</sup>

A young Homestead evaluation compared 13 sweet cultivars using six single-tree replications. 'Kary' received the highest overall impression rating in the reported taste test, while 'B-10' had the highest mean soluble-solids value among the listed comparison; the small, young, single-location trial limits how broadly those rankings can be applied.<sup id="cite_ref-5">[[#cite_note-5|[5]]]</sup> The same Florida work documents cultivar-specific growth and disease or root-rot differences, so a selection should be matched to the grower's climate and site rather than chosen from a single quality measure.<sup>[[#cite_note-5|[5]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-4|[4]]]</sup>
