That sounds delicious. I like the fact that it can be eaten underripe, too.

Does this mean this variety does not need refrigeration, right?

Hi. Yes it’s delicious. This variety is better to pick a bit underripe and let it stay on fruit bowl to eat when each one wants… no nead of refrigeration.

You are in zone 9. I am in zone 6. Don’t think it will ripen here in time. If I were in zone 7 or higher, I would try thus variety.

Thanks for the for the info.
