What's the obvious difference between iron pickup and bourbon?

Iron pickup (Typica)

This is a natural variety native to Yemen. At present, the iron pickup is the most common bean seed in the world, because the Dutch once grew the coffee in Indonesia, and the French brought the coffee to the Caribbean and then spread to Central and South America. The production of iron pickup coffee is small and is extremely vulnerable to rust leaf disease, so most plantations do not grow iron pickup coffee alone. Unlike other beans, the fruit of Tieka coffee is cone-shaped. Iron pickup coffee is of high quality, so it is very popular in plantations all over the world. If planted properly, Tippica coffee has high sweetness, pure taste and pleasant acidity.

Bourbon (Bourbon)

Like Ironhide, bourbon is a natural variety native to Yemen. Its name comes from the island of Bourbon, where it was originally planted, which is now Reunion. During the French colonial period, the French often exported this kind of coffee overseas, especially in the United States. Bourbon coffee fruit is short and round, with high density of pulp and seeds. Bourbon coffee usually has high sweetness and bright acidity. The yield of this coffee is 20-30% higher than that of iron pickup, but it is still regarded as a low-yield bean seed and is also vulnerable to rust leaf disease. Most bourbon fruits are red, but two natural varieties show different colors, orange bourbon and yellow bourbon. Orange bourbon is sweeter, while yellow bourbon is more acidic.
