But I can find no mention of a variety called Tropical Yellow anywhere.
Coyote does have a yellowish shade to it when in the sun so I'm wondering and suggesting that they are one and the same.

Tropical Yellow is the code name I used for this line. I can make up a cuter name (something Caribbean) if you think that would be appropriate.
The variety came from a volunteer I found in 2008. It was very similar to a yellow, cherry-sized line of the Coyote X Florida Pink cross I was working with in the previous year, so I'm reasonably sure it was descended from that cross The only difference was the pink blush, which I didn't see in the cross. In any case, you could describe it as a cherry-sized variant of Coyote with a pink blush. It has the sweet taste of Coyote but less of the odd aftertaste.
As Starlight mentioned, it has good growth and productivity along with good taste and an attractive appearance, so I would recommend it to anyone who would like to try it.
