The fruit will lighten up and you will see yellow between the sections
Okay, good...Thanks for the reply That's like what my sugar apple does when it's fruit is about ready to pick.
The fruit also softens up but it can seem rock hard in the morning and
be soft the same night
Interesting. Sounds like it is important to watch for the yellowing between the fruit sections (carpels).
Most of my annona tree's early fruit don't size up and are not the best tasting.
The second year the fruit should improve.
Form what you say here, this early fruit on my 'Gefner' will stay somewhat small and retain a spiky exterior.
And I guess I should have asked originally what sort of schedule 'Gefner' has for blooming, setting fruit, and ripening (in what month, usually)?
Again TIA,
Paul M.
