Some of my DF varieties are ripening up now but many of them are splitting this year so I have to harvest them early before they fully color and sweeten up. The largest fruit so far is my Halley's Comet and it weighs 1 lbs 11oz.
How old is your Halley's Comet plant?
The Halley's Comet is two years old from a 4 foot rooted cutting. They grow really fast with lots of water and fertilizer.
Thanks Richard, I did get some fruit that didn't split. I'm eat all the split fruit and the perfect fruit will go to friends and family.
Merce3, your fruit is ready to eat, the longer you leave it on the tree, the sweeter it will be but it will also get softer and mushy as it's left on longer. Let us know how it tastes!
I'll update with pics of the Frankie's Red soon. They appear to be developing faster than my Yellow Dragons developed last year.
