Hi Ladygabe,
growing mine in containers this is what i have experienced over the years there pretty similar each season for me only i might add.
Some types take longer and it also depends on climate.
For example near Chicago illinois a few of mine started showing very small fruit last week and I usually taste my first one 3rd week of August then they peak and are gone in mid September with a few late ones toward end of month.
For other growers in other climates it can vary .

Thanks Martin. Im kinda sad to know that it will be nearly 3 months before they fully mature. I think thats longer than a peach! lol. Hopefully I'll get some a bit sooner now that the heat is here and will only be getting hotter.

Also, I was shocked, but surprised that the Kadota I just bought this year from Lowes (that was only about 12 inches tall) is also figging out! Wooooo. As soon as they are grown Ill take pics :-)

I know Ladygabe, its a shame they take that long for main crop . Here afterwards they soon are destined to go dormant its a waitng game . Once dormant , then winter then spring then a new season arrives once again. During the time of waiting for mine to get ripe i enjoy there beauty for i know what lies ahead .
