This stood out today under the grey wet sky for a short sun break. Pretty against the blueberry fade.

Had to pick some Fuyu as the limbs were about to break from overload. Also, judging by the broke branches I would say coons have been helping me pick.

@Gkight … how are you getting mulberries this late in the season ?
Did you prune back your mulbs in August ?
I planted a couple new mulberries and tip pruned them late August… and one of them set a couple berries. It is still green… kip parker… doubtful it will ripen here before frost gets it.

Your raccoons are a lot nicer than mine. They’ll just strip the whole tree in one night they did that to my last persimmon tree. That tree died and this new one is only a couple years old. I have one big persimmon on it. I put it in insect bag to try to give it a little protection. I wanted to wait until it was fully ripe but your post is put me over the edge gonna have to pick it. I know I’m pushing my luck with raccoons

You know the season is almost over when these are falling. Medlar and persimmons are all that I have left. Only trade season to look forward to now.

Most people compare it to spiced applesauce. Hard to give a good description.

Amoa 8 that got broken off of the tree i just got next to a pink 
Bearss Lime and pink lemons
My last Unique feijoa
My raspberries are still producing however! They taste like they did in Colorado now instead of how great they were throughout the summer lol. I guess the rain and cold is as stressful as constant winds and bi-weekly hail. They’re under cover so they don’t get too much rain. I haven’t watered them in over a month now and they’re potted. Anne is my most vigorous raspberry variety.
Also the Amoa 8 is incredibly sweet, even for an unripe fruit 
honestly thinking about grabbing another one because i have the Citrus bug right now.

Luma berries are starting to ripen more steadily now, getting about this many every day despite very minimal fruit this year compared to last year (when I was filling whole bowls):

I grow small grape/cherry tomatoes exclusively. While most of my tomatoes are no longer producing ripe fruit anymore, this Blush Tiger is still churning out ripe tasty fruit. occasionally I still get Rosella and White currant, but the quality isn’t even close to the blush tiger this late in the season.
Also I still have a few more peter’s honey figs that might ripen before the end of the season. this year was bad for figs as most of mine were stolen by squirrels!

How do they taste?
The berries themselves have a pleasantly sweet taste when fully ripe (some of these are a little early still, as shown by the green on the bottom), but the seeds are large and crunchy, similar to grape seeds in size and texture, and they have an unpleasant resinous taste when you crunch them.

@Bigmike1116 … my sungold cherry tomato is the last thing left in my veggie garden… since it is still producing some nice fruit… and my granddaughter loves them.
The rest of the garden… I just planted a covercrop of greens.

It’s been beautifully mild weather here in southern England so far for November. Over 60F here today.
U. molinae ‘Flambeau’ berries. They are starting to drop, so time to pick. The berries don’t seem to turn red like my non-variegated forms like ‘Red Devil’ do, and are smaller at that.
Still delicious, and birds don’t seem to notice them - the berries blend into the foliage too well (it makes it hard for me to pick them all, lol). I think if we’d had a warmer summer thr berries would have developed a slight blush to them.
