Do you know Sapote blanco? Pitanga? Here's table of our fruits with ripening times

We get enough fruit from our surroundings, i.e. near Nerja on the Mediterranean coast, almost all year round. We take most of the fruit from our garden, we receive other fruits as gifts or we pick them from trees in public spaces. You will only find here fruit trees or perennial plants with edible fruits.

Links to our annual plants with fruit: watermelon, courgette

You can read the ripening time from the list below:
"gmg" means fruit from our garden is ripe (m = "many").
"OOO" means fruit from our surrounding is ripe.
