when is rollinia in season?

[SplorKeLZ]

I posted in the BST asking if anyone had any rollinia among other fruits they would be willing to sell me. But when is it actually in season in SoFLo though? The online sources have mixed information

They flower and fruit after some really good rains or continuous deep watering. Maybe the worst Annona fruit to think about shipping.

Gotta have a seller that’s willing to ship first. I have yet to see that.

I'd also be willing to buy a fruit or two of this IF someone would be willing to ship them AND
pack them well i soft packing ans send them overnight to me via FedEx, damnn the expense!

Maybe getting a couple to try that way would make my biribá jealous so the tree would decide
to set some fruit for me at last!

Cheers!

At my place in north Broward in south east Florida most of mine ripened in May though April and June also had fruit. I've found that Rollinia do not ripen if picked green, and once they start to ripen the fruit ripens REALLY fast. From ripe and "deliciosa" to gooey snot to garbage in only a few days.

I agree agree Rollinia is NOT a good fruit to ship, even IF the USPS were on the ball which they're not. I once sent a small parcel from S.E Fla to Tampa and it took over two weeks to get there.

BTW, I have Geffner, Sugar apple, Custard apple, Kampong Mauve and soursop and I wouldn't trade one Rollinia for 10 of any other annona I have or have had. The lemon meringue, banana, and a hint of vanilla custard is an amazing taste treat.

I only gave ONE away and I do not make a habit of that! Sell? Nah! If I did my GF would be V-E-R-Y unhappy as it's her fave fruit :-)

I've sent rollinia successfully, within FL. It can be done, but requires great timing and a bit of luck. (not sending fruit anymore)

Rollinia ripens in the summer, and usually get another smaller winter crop.

If you were in So. Flo I'd give you a veritable plantation in seedlings!

[Jaboticaba45]

Yep,
although when picked green and close to ripe they can ripen up but will never taste the same as a perfectly ripe one.

Are you looking to get rid of Rollinia seedlings?
