Vendor: Porter Hill Farm
At early budding stage a Copper Spray, approved for organic use, was used to combat a fungal infection which devastated last year's crop. Only a milk spray used during the fruiting period. May need 1-3 extra days on your windowsill to fully ripen. Ripe when a little softness felt by pressing lightly with your finger. Placing in a paper bag will hasten ripening. If left on the tree until fully ripe, the insects (bees) will have a heyday and open up areas for further damage to the fruit. If any soft spots seen, refrigerate to prolong the life of the fruit.
