Citrus General Discussion / Re: Dekpon

I picked a first Dekopon fruit from a container tree (I also have an in ground Dekopon tree). Because it is the summer months the peel did not turn completely orange.I let the fruit remain hanging on the tree for approximately a month or so after it appeared to be ripe. I did not store it as commercial Dekopon fruit are done. It was good tasting, sweet but not as sweet as some I have eaten in the past. Of course young citrus trees of any variety do not begin to produce their best fruit until they get some age to them. My 2.5 year old in ground Dekopon presently has a dozen or so fruit hanging on it. - Millet
