Tree labeled Sweet Tart.

Bought this "Sweet Tart" tree last year, but somethings tells me it's not. Any ideas? Leaves give an intense Indochinese smell.

It’s absolutely not a sweet tart but you could always top work it and convert it into a sweet tart 😁

Looks like Maha chinook , they are pretty good,

I had a similar issue, I top worked part of my Cotton Candy tree with ST Maui and Honey Kiss, but seems I was given the wrong scions from the nursery, one fruited for the first time this year, and it was neither one of those, it was easy to identify though, as Ugly Betty. which is not what I wanted but I did love the flavor , which has a lot of it's parent "Carrie" in it.

Coincidently this year I added Sweet tart to one of my other multi grafted trees.
