26 May 09, Kath Ingham (Australia - tropical climate): This year I have two different types of rosella plants I have always grown the large bush with pointed fruit but this year I have a plant that has round fruit on a smaller bush and it had fruit about about two months before the other plants,I wonder if anyone knows if this is just a throwback or if it is a different ,bush, the leaves on this bush are much larger than the leaves on the other bushes
