I spotted some brown sap oozing out from the base of two pomegranates (see posting 5th April 2011). ... so I guess I should pluck the fruits - irregardless of whether they are ripen or not. The color of the fruits have turned light cream yellow speckled with brown marks.

Ripe or not ? | | |

So I cut the fruits open ... and observed that some portions have actually start to turn bad, thus the sap oozing out ! The good portions are slightly pinkish and healthy looking - so I took a taste. To my disappointment but as expected, considering the fruits are not really ripe enough, they did not taste as sweet or juicy.

Well let's hope the other fruits will ripen properly in time ...!

I think the fruit itself is bonus already iregardless of whether it is sweet or not.
Lets keep your finger crossed that the others will be sweet.
I remember mother brought some back from australia long time ago, and those were really sweet.
