Karin starts with ... We planted a black sapote a couple of years ago. We have had some fruit but don't know when to pick it. If we leave it on the tree, it just keeps growing - we've had them get to the size of footballs! If we pick them at this stage, they soften over time but are mostly hollow and fibrous inside (but black). We've tried picking earlier, but they just seem to wilt in the bowl rather than ripen. Any tips would be much appreciated.	About the Author Karin1 Sunshine Coast 17th November 2008 9:27am #UserID: 1651 Posts: 1 View All Karin1's Edible Fruit Trees

Diny says... The time to pick them is when you see the calyx lift a little bit, if you pick them too early, they will never ripen.	About the Author Diny Bundaberg 18th November 2008 8:23pm #UserID: 968 Posts: 11 View All Diny's Edible Fruit Trees
