Chocolate Fruit

2 responses

PeterG starts with ... My black sapote has exploded with fruit this year after being in for about 5 years. I wasn't sure when to pick the fruit but 2 weeks ago I picked a couple of dozen of the larger sized fruit which were mainly an olive green colour and the ones that have softened so far have been delicious. I noticed this weekend that a lot of the fruit remaining on the tree is smaller and more of a yellow colour. Advice please anyone. Do I quickly pick any of the remaining olive green fruit? Are the smaller yellowish fruit just immature and going to turn or a sign of a lack of some kind of nutrient? The tree itself is powering - about 3 metres high and very bushey. Probably about 100 fruits still on the tree.	About the Author PeterG Eureka 23rd September 2007 7:59pm #UserID: 328 Posts: 2 View All PeterG's Edible Fruit Trees

Kath says... This sounds like they are just smaller fruit but they are ripening and I would guess that by now you have been eaten a fair few of these smaller fruits. With 100 fruits have you come up with any tasty recipes to us them up?	About the Author Kath Cawongla 12th October 2007 10:38am #UserID: 2 Posts: 363 View All Kath's Edible Fruit Trees

tr says... THe fruit is ready to pick when the calyx around the stalk lifts slightly from the surface of the fruit . It will still be hard , but ripen within a week . You can leave to ripen on the tree , but its messy picking them then	About the Author peter12 7th June 2008 7:33am #UserID: 1019 Posts: 38 View All peter12's Edible Fruit Trees
