My 3 year old Mona Lisa, that has gone into the garage for winter storage twice, is finally blooming! Wohoo!
However it is September 2nd so what are the chances the fruit will have time to develop enough?
I live in Dallas Texas and usually my Nam Wah takes around 4 months to plump up and ripen. Guessing I can always take it inside but that is provided it has plumped up already.
Anyway I am curious to hear from anyone else who has grown Mona Lisa how long the fruit takes to ripen.

interested to hear your experiences! I sure hope it ripens faster than it blooms...
