The closes I've come to a ripe Che Fruit

I've been growing this in ground for about 3 years now. The Che fruit. It has been a big disappointment. I think moving forward I'll dig it out and keep it in a pot in the greenhouse year round. It should help to ripen this fruit in time here in Seattle. Other wise this is the closes I've come to ripe fruit from the Che. It's still rock hard and inedible. The photo was taken in October.

Planera Fig:

This was a nice surprise. Ripened in October. But it has a potential. I don't want to give a true score until I can get it into proper conditions.

Overall it has a unique taste, slightly herby with a strong strawberry jam taste.

The mother tree was found in Sa Maimona in Mallorca.

Origin: Montserrat Pons
