Thanks!
Yes, I would say between 2 and 3 years old.

Still growing like a champ I presume? Ripe fruit this year?

I have 3 large fruit. They look almost green.
Since I don’t know when it will ripen, I will keep waiting until it will be clear they might be edible.
I will try to take a photo

Ok, here they are. Same fruit as before but a bit riper.
The smaller fruit is on top of the tree and got some sunburn

Wow, absolutely beautiful! Even the sunburned one lol. Can't wait to see the fruit :)

I always wonder what will fully ripen in my zone, but I think I may add one of these to the collection to trial it here. So far I've had pretty good results for a colder zone with a shorter growing season.

I decided to open one fruit!
It’s not ripe yet but the arils are sweet (no acidity) and almost soft seeded. Maybe will become even softer with time, will see. I’ve never tasted Eversweet but by description it seems it’s also sweet before the full ripeness. I don’t know how close to Eversweet is this one, mine has not fruited yet.
Didn’t expect this white arils, interesting.
