Pulled these today. Only got through peeling half of the gandule pods. I’ll be handing out starfruit to the neighbors.

    We’re way too far north for starfruit, but you’re coming at this from the right angle. Our local fruit trees (apple, pear, peach, etc) produce a ton of fruit. Like 100-200 pounds / 45-90 kg worth for a single teenage tree. If you don’t stay on top of them they’ll attract yellow jackets and the trees themselves require a decent amount of pruning annually.

    Fruit trees sound fantastic to have, but they’re a lot of work.
