Fuji can be compared with whistler in terms of quality, flower size and production. The production might even be a little higher. The flower head break during warmer an humid periods. This is a disadvantage of Fuji. In countries like Colombia, with a very stable climate this is not a problem. In other countries with a warmer and humid climate, Fuji is very difficult to grow. KonstWhistler doesn’t show this braking problem.
