Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: This Season's Pickering Are Bland
« on: June 27, 2022, 10:33:36 AM »
I think people are picking them too early and not giving them a few days off the tree before eating. No wonder they are complaining about them being bland. Don't pick until they are mostly yellow coming off the tree easily, and don't eat until fully yellow for best quality. Pickering is mediocre if picked early and not given a few days off the tree before eating. My tree in SWFL is just now STARTING to color some of its fruit.
It will be at least a week before I pick any, and probably 10 days to 2 weeks before I eat them. Let them hang longer.
