Hey Iowa, Was that really ripe like that? My orinocos are still quite hard and starchy at that color. They all need to be almost completely black to be soft, sweet and ripe enough to eat like that. Are you sure it's an orinoco? Very cool if it's ripening that early. My only Orinoco to not fruit yet is a dwarf.
Maybe I should dig them up and replant them every year :-) Would be odd to do here in Florida though :-D
