@murky Some are pollinated and some aren’t. I’m really not sure of a reliable way to tell before cutting them open. It self pollinated as I observed a couple branches with male flowers, and none of the pollinator varieties I planted had any males this past spring. I plan on removing the astringency artificially with alcohol, then waiting for the fruit to slightly soften. They are definitely mature fruit as the seeds are dark brown now.
@disc4tw These are probably around the size of a larger supermarket Fuyu like that fancier grade where you’d pay a few more dollars for a box. I’m very satisfied with its productivity. The fruit grows in clusters.
@thecityman I’m amazed that you’ve had ripe Saijo starting so early. Most of mine aren’t even fully yellow. Where did you originally buy your trees from? Mine also have these ridges while yours look smooth.
