Come back Eve all is forgiven. This is the first Discovery to be ripe enough to eat, and early too. Wish I could show you the taste, but believe me it was good.
Bully for you, Eric. Our Discovery - the pollinator for the 4 Sunsets - is USELESS! Always out of synch with pollinating & never had a good fruit. = Tim
From that Picture Eric I can taste it! Lovely
Lucky you. This year we have had a dismal crop on our Discoveries and the birds finished off the few that were there, doesn't look like we will get any this year. :'(
Sorry to hear that Jesseveve, then this picture will really make you curse. No doubt the wasps will get a lot of these too.

My tree looked like that last year but not so this year :'(. But he he, my theory is that because it has had a good rest this year next year will be a bumper crop! ;D (I hope!)
Cool! I am going to grow minurette trees as i don't have the space but there are all sorts of varieties to choose form!
MMMMMMM i bet it WAS delicious!

My Discovery have been a disappointment this year, mostly because it's a fairly young tree so I only let 3 develop, but they all have a split around the stalk area, so I presume I did not give them enough water when it was dry and they burst through their own skins. And then! they were all "attacked" by some kind of beastly beast - bird? wasp? and they all went brown and narsty anyway!
Oh well. Better luck next year...!

Eric - why should you be so favoured??
Our minarette is not impressive - 6 years old. = Tim
Looks very yummy Eric. :)
