Ripeness and aroma

World Agroforestry's 2003 Kenya guide describes elongated, thin-skinned fruit with tender, lemon-yellow, low-fibre flesh and a polyembryonic seed. It records 220-311 g fruit and vigorous trees with a large, dense canopy. Those measurements and growing observations belong to that regional reference, not a guaranteed size or South Florida harvest calendar.
