This photo is of our nisperro fruits. They have just got ripe now. They are a little more orange than when the photo was taken. Simply pick from the tree, bite off the top, and suck the loveley sweet flesh out. There are 2 large stones / pips which are easily avoided! However, Paddy and Max quickly cottoned on, that these things are edible, and within 2 days, any hanging lower than 5ft had been eaten!
Max had also realised that other trees might contain fruit! Ed has seen him trying to climb the nisperro tree more than once! He has also dug up one of the lemon trees (which has now died) so we have bought a new one, as well as a necarine tree. However (again) Max spotted the single necatrine growing, and promply ate it (damaging several branches at the same time). Thankfully, the new lemon tree still has all of it's spikes attached, so he leaves that alone! Maybe next year we will get a proper fruit harvest! (Nisperros, lemons, oranges, nectarines, olives and almonds. Yum yum.)
