OK...I have about four Saba in my yard. Two of them blossomed last December. I have been waiting for the fruit to turn yellow or for the birds and rats to attack them to know when they are ripe.(a failsafe indicator) Anyway nothing like that has happened yet. So today I decided, to heck with it, I'm gonna cut one down. I've read this copied blurb, "these make the best tosotones I've/We've ever tasted". OK, I am here to report, they do make EXCELLENT tostones, much more akin to "apim" or "macacheira" than to tostones as you might know them. But I guess, my question is...do they ever ripen? 6 months and no sign of ripening seems a little odd to me......
