I noticed that of few of the yellow fruits were splitting on top so pulled the first hand and tested them. WOW!!! They are little flavor bombs that remind me of Starburst candy. They have even more acid than the Hawaiian Apples do, but in a different way. These have a really strong Pineapple flavor that stays on your tongue for quite a while after tasting, about a half hour! The flesh is just slightly pink/orange colored, and the texture is a little dryer on the outside and firmer then the Apples. The aroma is really strong and sweet. I also noticed that the little strings on the inside of the peel are firmly stuck to the flesh. I'm sure that the fruits that ripen without splitting will get much sweeter as they fully ripen so that will be an interesting comparison to the barely ripe fruits I ate today. I can hardly wait!
Anyone who has received a Pisang Klotek pup from me can have 3 fingers mailed to them if you want to pay the USPS Priority postage of $5.00
Cedar Dave, if you would like to try them pm me and we'll try to figure how much the shipping is to your area. Hopefully they don't have dogs sniffing for food in the packages!
To all others who would like to taste test them, you'll have to make a trip to Cali real soon before they are all gone!
EDIT The fruit did get very sweet when allowed to ripen fully. They also stopped splitting once removed from the plant. My wife wants me to plant more of these!
All gone. Lot's of people are now spoiled!
