Great pics Felipe! What other fruits are in season in CI now?

[Tropicdude]

Very nice looking fruit, all clean and picture perfect.

by the way, regarding the Gomera, I know they are standard rootstock, but how do they taste? are they decent tasting? unlike the "turpentine" used in Florida.

Nice pictures of a nice fruit haul.  Tell us about the Rincon avocado, have you had it?

Hola Felipe,

That's an awesome September harvest you have there, Buddy Enjoy them fruits

Thanks for sharing

[Felipe]

Thank you all for the kind words 

amaqeq, the taste of FdJ is excellent, very sweet, but also a strong and complex aroma hard to describe. Probably the best chirimoya out there.

terejiguete, I'm pretty sure it's G-3.. hmm.. I will check again. NDM is a very nice mango. The name means 'agua de flores', which I think it's a good transcribtion. It's not very sweet nor it has a strong flavour, but a very pleasant mild aroma. A must have in any serious mango collection.

Mura, there are many other fruits in season right now, but not in my orchad: Mamoncillo, annonaceas, abiu.. I just forgot this one in my orchad... LOL



Tropicdude, yes, the gomera mangos taste pretty good, sweet, but they are not very big and have tons of fibre.

Harry, the Rincon avocado is a good tasting one, similar to Fuerte, with a small seed. Over here it is a dwarf and ultra productive cultivar, a real champ!

Mangoperro, off-season fruit is the best fruit!

Do you know the origin of the "Rincon" avocado? I ask because there is a city on the west coast of Puerto Rico named Rincon and that area is famous for the best avocados on the island.
