First triphasia trifolia fruits

[SocalKoop]

I was surprised how small this plant was when it flowered.  First flowered when about 6 inches tall in spring.  These fruits were the results and have taken a long time to ripen. Good pollination rate, 4 for 6.  Plant is probably about 2 yrs old (I got it from Ethan last Sept).  Slow grower (at least for me).  It's in a 1 gal if that helps gage size.  It's about 8 inches tall and a little over a foot wide.  Berries are small, so I had a hard time focusing on them with my camera (phone).   I'm not quite sure how to gage ripeness, so I'll probably wait until this first reddish one falls off in my hand.

Once is red you can pick it,  they have a nice spice taste!

Very cool! I love the smell of those crushed leaves. I have a plant in 2 gallon, likely from the same batch that is holding a couple still unripe fruits at the moment.

Very tasty! I'll look forward to larger crops. Bet it would make a great marmalade. Just a little sweet added to spicy bitter lime. This one will deserve a space in the ground.
