Cherapu is something I've been working on for a few years, there's not too many fruit trees that are slower growers than this. We're still trying to decide if it's better to graft prainiana in the pot or, maybe grow them out and then top work the extra males.
Anyway, this is the second time this tree has produced and the first time it has really loaded up. There can still be flowers appearing as the more mature fruits ripen.
I have my cherapu trees in what passes for full sun on my farm but at a friends farm in a drier part of CR the ones he has in partial shade are doing better than the full exposure planting.
The flowers are pollinated by our stingless melipona bees. As you can see they are very efficient. Hopefully, I'll be able to take a quantity to the farmers market in the coming weeks, see how they do. We're doing nicely at the moment, eating this fruit.
