I notice all of my plants, male or female/androgynous, seem to produce fruits.
The male plants produce androgynous flowers near the base of the tree, only after a good flush of male flowers...finishing up with a chance to make fruits..I assume.
Mine seem to flower for a few months, starting off heavy, and then tapering off slowly.
I believe they can bloom about 3 times a year or so.
and to be honest...so far I'm getting ticked off with my imbe!
The fruits hang on forever before ripening...and although I had hundreds set, it seems like only 15% or so, decided to fill out (to just smaller than a golf ball, and smaller)...so I can already tell I wish the fruits were bigger.
Of the few fruits I ate already this year, they were small, tart, with scant flesh, but I'm guessing these fruits were runts...and not the best quality.
I still see some big whoppers on the tree waiting to turn orange...and my Sharry Larry tree has only made about 10 fruits so far...but some are very large compared to my 3 other trees!
I haven't forgot about your budwood request Jay.
and the vexators either! (all of my vexatorees)
I promise I will send them before too long.
Hope this helps
