Yesterday Kris brought home a strange fruit that a gardener had given him from a park with a lot of fruit trees. (Pitchess Park)He didn't remember the name, said it was something like Zapa--tos or something. It looks like a quince (ie like a misshapen apple) and was a pale green. He was told to wait until it was yellow, then the fruit could be eaten with a spoon.
Tonight the fruit is yellow and indeed soft enough to eat with a spoon. It seems to have three pits inside, a little like a mango. The flesh is very mild and very good.
You might be interested in the California Rare Fruit Growers Association (http://www.crfg.org/). Unfortunately you just missed their annual 'festival of fruit*'!
