Velvet Apple
10 years ago
Diospyros blancoi - Velvet Apple or Mabolo
This tree has been in the ground for at least 12 years and has been fruiting for the last 4 or 5 years. This is the first piece of fruit that was low enough for me to grab with my 6' bamboo hook pole.
Question - does anyone know what a ripe one is supposed to look and feel like? This one is hard as rock.
