Hi Folks,

My tamarillo plant fruited last year for the first time, but the fruit never
seemed to ripen properly. They turned orange and never went any further
(they're meant to be deep deep red when ripe - no it's not the yellow
variety).

The tree has heaps of fruit this season, they're still all green, but I'm
wondering if there's something special about when I'm supposed to pick
them - ie are they like some things and only ripen properly after being
picked?

It gets plenty of water and sun. I'm in Perth.

Thanks,

Noala
