Thanks! What’s been your experience with Anne: taste, firmness, sweetness, size? And how does that compare to double gold or fall gold?

Here are some of the mums that I have on the property. I have several bunches of each growing in the middle orchard fruit guilds. I have some others, but they are later blooming:

Not from my tree but from Safeway of all places - White Sapote. Based on the protrusion on the side, I think this is Vernon variety.

The best description of the flavor i can come up with is sweet avocado. Very creamy, moderately sweet and enjoyable for a grocery store fruit. There were sugar crystals spotted throughout the flesh.

These two little gals (my wife’s sisters daughters)… they spend the night with us every once in a while… back this spring/summer they helped me pick berries and apples, peaches.

They stayed with us yesterday evening (we had a camp fire cookout in the back yard)…

This evening I introduced them to wild muscadines…

At first that little one said not eating that… but I let her watch me eat some and explained the process to her. With wild dimes you have to pop them, get the pulp, seeds, juice out, spit out the skins, work the seeds out of the pulp with your teeth and tongue, spit the seeds out then you can eat the pulp and swallow the juice.

After I did 2-3 she said let me try.

She ended up taking a big bag of muscadines home with her when she left.

I am sure her Mom will be thrilled of all the SPIT training I gave her :slight_smile:

I did tell her you really need to eat these outside.

Posting pics of fruit and flowers without the names is not very helpful. Most of us in the USA are not familiar with fruit varieties available in Europe.

Late flowering sometimes means distress. Pluck them off.
