pictures of part of my first "big" abiu crop

Well big for me anyway, as the most I had gotten in all the previous years was 2. This time I am just stoked to have almost 50 fruits for the season, almost all of them between 9 and 12 ounces, with one getting to a full pound.

Ronald it would be interesting to see them inside and know about other qualities like latex and number of seeds.They look very attractive.

Ok will do that tomorrow, my phone takes lousy pictures. The tree is a seedling and most fruit have just one seed, never more than two.

Being very anxious with the early fruit (from years back) I obviously picked them too early as these are so much sweeter and juicier. here is a picture from a few years ago,




in no way represents current fruit, will post pic in the afternoon tomorrow.

As far as the latex goes it's hard for me to say as I have never tasted any other abius, but I find it acceptable. Definitely no worse than a nice star apple.

Well I didn't have to wait till this afternoon to post pictures as a friend who I had given a few took them for me. Not exactly how we fruit fanatics would have taken them but gives a good look at the internal quality.
