Tony,
Got this from a Vietnamse store yesterday. I took a convenient but more expensive way. I figured I could also see how ripe it was. Whole fruit is only $1.50 a lbs. cut up like this is $3.49 a lb.

Wow, the store sure raised the price for the convenient. This is prime Jack fruit season and it sells for 75 cents per pound this week. My kids loved Jack fruit smoothie. Well enjoy it.

Excellent!! Must be good and cold hardy. I have added it to my additions for coming fall list. If you are already getting fruit in Kansas in itās 3rd year surely here in Tennessee it will work. Hopefully.

Iād move to Omaha for that price :)
I thought $1.5 was cheap. I also bought a box of large mangoes, too. 12 for $16.

Jackfruit, red skinned dragon fruit and yellow dragon fruit. The jackfruit was not really ripe but still edible. The red dragon fruit was good. The yellow dragon fruit was excellent.

I like them. They should get higher brix than that.
I have found that it blooms way to early.for Kansas. Blossoms were opened by March 26th, some started earlier, and our avg last frost date is April 15. I was shocked that it had set fruit at all, but there were only 2. Good luck to you, if you try the Stark SweetHeart. I hope it will thrive for you in TN! I am going to be looking foe some apricots with higher chill hour requirements for planting next spring.

Thatās good to know. Itās only a couple small branches on a multi-grafted tree.Thanks,Brady
I replied to your post, that I like them, not realizing there were a bunch of posts in between.
And just today, I went to my momās house where my Early Laxton branch is growing and the first 1/2 of them (6 plums) were perfectly ripe. They may have only been 17 brix (didnāt measure) but my daughter and I really enjoyed them.
They are the best European plums I have access to eat today at any price.

Iām growing Starkās Sweetheart apricot/nut too. Iām crazy about nuts and apricots 
Mine was chomped by deer, then got a sneaky borer problem below the soil itās 1st year but is all fixed up this year and doing nicely, lol.
Iām still eating my Bruce plums. I like them. My neighbors got as low as 21 degrees twice this spring during bloom, and I still got dozens of plums. They are spicy and juicy and have a faint papaya/tropical taste. I like them under-ripe and firm, with a more tart skin then. Iām weird like that with J plums
Bruce didnāt, however, pollinate my mystery J plum, now pretty big. That was the main reason I got it! They bloomed together but the teeny plums fell off soon after.

My wife bought Angelcots at Traderās Joe, $3.50 for one lb box. They are grown in Brentwood, about 20 minutes drive from where we live. Itās just another white apricot, similar to Moniqui, Lasgerdi Mashhad, etc., except they are apparently grown with excess water to achieve larger size and are definitely picked well underripe, and therefore taste inferior to my home grown white apricots.

We, in Newport, RI have never seen a white apricot sold in a store, you lucky people!

Some blackberries and the first peach of the season (gold dust). Looked a little rough inside but tasted nice.

Can anyone thatās ripened Williams Pride give me some advice on when they should be ready? Iāve got a dozen on my tree and this will be the first harvest. How red should they be and when can I expect to pick. I now they are an early apple. Was kinda thinking they might be ready by first week of August.

I started picking my Williams Pride one at a time about three weeks ago. The taste was good but I should have waited for a little more color as is @mamuang example. I only had a few but the seem to ripen at different times. Good taste for an early apple.
