Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: When to pluck a pineapple?

If you wait for a strong smell the critters will get it, I would pick it now. As fruitlovers said it will ripen indoors.

how hard dense are the cannon balls, just thinking what they would do in a cat. 4/5 hurricane.

Is akee viable? It is about $10.00 a can and fresh I heard is about $12.00 a pound retail. I have never had it but some of my co-workers go nuts for it.

By chance are their people up north that you don't actually love all that much?

Picked when ripe near ripe, this tree puts out some tasty fruit. I have islanders at work that love these things. I always wonder way they get such a bad rap, it must be like the Florida grown tomatoes in the store.

Mango mania strikes again! People will do the Kraziest thing for real ripe Florida mangoes. I shipped a mango care package today to relatives in Philadelphia. Get a US Post Office priority mail medium size $12.95 flat rate box (unlimited weight allowed) and mail it out on a Monday///// possibly Tuesday if going to a closer destination in the USofA.
I will start my "care packages" soon. Tommy Atkins, pack your bags.
