Thanks Gabe, always great to have an expert eye on the subject.

Notice the hard fiber running past the ovules almost to the tip? When I cut these fingers off, some of them had begun to "balloon" at the end to about a 2 inch diameter. These were nearly all fiber and no fruit. The others, like the one shown, contains maybe 1/2 edible fruit. What's going on?
