I had zero Rosigold the past 2 years due to fungal infections and I was very surprised to have 3 very early Rosigolds this year. Two are still on the tree with another bloom occurring now for Rosigold. The one pictured fell off the tree about 4 days ago & after a day or two it was as ripe as it would go as I could see some loss of plumpness and darkness on the skin. The seed was starting to turn brown. The skin on Rosigold is extremely bitter as I had forgotten since about 3 years ago since I last had one. However the flesh close to the skin was very nice. The other two on the tree are a similar color now but I think I will wait till they fall off before eating.
None of my other trees are even close to maturity with over a month for sure maybe 2 months. If I had only one tree, I would have probably already regrafted it as such a poor performer due to fungal issues. Now that it bore a few and has more blooms coming, I will look a little more favorable & hopeful for it's future in the yard.
I'm surprised I don't see anyone else posting yet as I've never been early. As previously mentioned, I do not irrigate & believe the early bloom was due to increased soil moisture here with the very wet Fall & now Winter. The good news as it looks like a two crop year for some of the trees since a few set early & my normal bloom is about this time without watering.
