Most of these snotty textured fruits that have an off putting flavor, were eaten too late.
You must harvest and consume the fruit while still slightly firm and green.
This changes the story completely. I've eaten fruits from the same tree, and the ones allowed to turn completely yellow were off putting and mushy.
I have got a grafted rollinia (I'm not quite sure of the source for the tree), but the leaves look quite different than the trees I've got flowering now.
I think there definitely are varieties out there, just not many grafting them.
Don't worry too much about getting a tasty fruited tree, all of the trees I've got fruits from tasted great. Just plant a seed from a tasty fruit, and you should end up with something quite similar.
I am envious! Lol
Rollinia plants are next to impossible to find in california.. I was lucky enough to purchase a seedling from a friend.. unfortunately.. I damaged it while playing ball with my dog.. OOPS... but it has budded out from the broken stem ainnd is making a recovery.. thankfully..
I had also ordered over 20 Rollinia seeds. Only one Germinated I'm calling it Lucky Rollinia.. the rest were moldy duds!!...
Sorry to hear about the doggy damage to your tree. I learned not to use a retractible leash with my dog in my yard; he wraped the leash around a small mango tree and pulled it down. I've never eaten a Rollinia fruit, so I'm looking forward to it someday.
I hope you got a good cultivar of Rollinia cause otherwise you will waste a lot of time, effort and space. I am sure there are good ones though the two I have tried have been off putting taste wise with the texture of, well, snot for a better term.
