Panama Berry - not ripening

    3 responses

Jennywren starts with ...
I live in Brisbane, my Panama Berry Tree is huge and healthy and produced tons of fruit over Christmas period but now (April) there is loads of fruit but just not ripening, for a few months now. It has had a lot of water.

Hi Jenny

It's very hard to find a fault with your seemingly healthy and productive Panama berry other than the usual ones like low and inconsistent temperature and inadequate irrigation during fruit production. Or it might be a signal/start of its inevitable decline. These trees are not long lived especially outside of their climactic range and they are known to turn their feet (roots) up without any warning. Anyway, those are only my thoughts. Hope that my foreboding remains as it is.

Happy gardening :-)

thank you, the tree is only 2 1/2 years old so hopefully it's just having a long well earned rest! I do recall it hanging onto it's green fruit for ages last year....but not this early..so it might do that again now its cooled down and then start to ripen in Spring/Summer. Seems an awful long time to hang onto green fruit when other people report it fruiting all year, would have thought Brisbane warm enough. Oh well.

I’m having exactly the same problem. Tree about 4m high, covered in fruitAnd only had half a dozen red berries since September. I did notice a red parrot in the tree the other day having a feast so maybe he is eating the red ones. Any thoughts on how to speed up ripening?
