Adam even if you get two different varieties fruiting at once, it would be a sight to see. Might even be the only tree around that is doing that. The reds fruit 3-4 years from seed right?
Yes,
Reds take about 2.5-5 yrs to fruit.
Here are 4 varieties fruiting at once! On separate trees though
I wonder how many other people in the USA were eating the same four fruits today?
Trunciflora had to be picked early...the animals have been shredding them! They would have been much sweeter, but I still enjoyed them very much. Very smooth texture..maybe silkiest of them all. They seem to have 2-4 small seeds per fruit, and very thin skin. There were much larger fruits than the ones I had pictured. I think this one might be the largest fruited of the 4, maybe tied with Grimal.
Grimals were picked about 5 days prior, and were refrigerated, so they appear a bit wrinkled....they were the best of all four...the flavor reminds me of a concord grape but better. Have about 1-3 small seeds per fruit. Fruits are nice sized, and came off of containerized trees, only about 7ft tall.
Sabaras were delicious and very sweet as usual. Very smooth texture. small seeds.
and the reds taste like blueberry yogurt. Very thin skin, texture much like Sabara....smooth.
