This was my first fruit on this tree and I'm pretty happy with the size and taste of the fruit.
1. As mentioned, animals get my sweet tarts quicker than any other fruit.
2. Mine do not get even 1/2 yellow orange without internal break down & diminished taste.
How did yours taste and how many days inside room temp. to ripen etc. and did they ever start turning yellow orange and if so to what degree before eating? I have not tried picking mine at the greener stage and have waited to pick till seeing a yellow orange burst on the bottom of the fruit.
So far I will continue picking at my location as soon as I see any orange yellow as it has been successful and more productive than leaving the fruit for the birds and raccoons as I have not seen any improvement in taste with the further ripening but have seen a decrease in produce by delaying picking the fruit.
I also try to eat them after sitting about 24 hours and within 2-3 days of bringing them inside as once again, taste seems to decrease with time, especially the tart component.
