I don't have a clue. I dumped a bunch of seeds and rinds in the back yard of my families main house, and they've been growing like fucking weeds for several years, now. Winter kills the plants, but every spring, there's more.

because the japs will believe anything you throw at them.
like kfc for christmas anyone?

plus their fruit sucks for the price you pay.
i had watermelon when i was there, and it was more water than flavour.
banana was good, but strawberries, cherries, apples all tasted like water with a splash of flavour

Japan doesn't have fruits, they import them from the best country, USA. Poor pathetic souls paying 10x what we pay for shitty imports. I should cut them off but I feel generous.

Its actually because Japanese business culture is very different from ours and involves a lot more collectivist practices like including many more members in their distribution networks, increasing the amount of middlemen while also increasing the barriers against new market entry.
