This little beauty came from Just Fruits. Already has fruits. Can someone please advise on when to pick and eat?

They hold on for a really long time. I was eating them many months after they turned orange and they were better each time. I suggest you wait until they are at least solid orange before you start trying them.

They tasted the best after the 1st of the year. They will be sour if you pick them shortly after they turn to the ripe color.

Yeah I did not like them at all then I first started picking them. So I ignored the tree and noticed that the fruit just kept holding on and getting darker and darker orange. I would try them occasionally and they were much better long after they initially turned.

They're coming along. Tons of new flowers on this little tree that can. Probably 18 inches tall, lol!
