Another update for the good people on this forum.
Last few weeks I haven't really paid attention to the Cecropia tree, but yesterday noticed it was holding a ton more fruit and one that appeared ripe (yellow stalk, gummy-worm texture).
Picked it this morning and saw the ants were already enjoying the sweet juices; to my surprise it tasted kind of like watery BBQ sauce. I can assume a lot of factors went into the fruit not being ideal, especially since such a small tree is holding so much fruit, but wow I did not expect it to taste so bad. Cool texture though, was a real "fall off the bone" type flesh.
Hoping next season they are sweeter.
