harvested a biriba from my little 15 gal tree yesterday...
it was the first flower ever to open on my 3 yr old tree, and it set fruit inside a greenhouse last winter.
The fruit was not very large, (probably because the tree is small, it was developing during the winter) but wow...it was very tasty! It was just enough to share with another Biriba addict. Unfortunately the seeds don't look viable...I would have liked to plant some...this variety seems precocious and productive.
The tree is setting lots of new fruits....so I will try my best to get them to ripen before the winter chill sets in! I'm going to step up the tree into a 25 gal pot soon! Must have more fruit!
here is the tree, during a thunderstorm, with a ripe fruit one the right hand side...hard to see.
I wasn't waiting for the fruit to fully turn yellow...I picked it as soon as it blushed more than half yellow.
