are ripe(ripe ones sink) but ALL the plums i've been picking have been sinking. is this test fuit specific? (though maybe the pits were too dense, de-pitted them, same results) |

You "de-pitted" the plums and still tried to float them to see if they were ripe? Did you eat the ones you de-pitted? How were they? Ripe, or no? |
