The only other trees fruiting now are the Carambolas (also known as Star Fruit or Five-Corner fruit), a few Soursops, some yellow Passionfruit (at least the ones the Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos have missed!) and a lot of new Banana bunches are coming on. The Mango blossoms should be starting soon - ours are a late-producing variety and are normally ready around Christmas-time.

Wait until the fruit is very soft. Oil your utensils and hands and break open. They should be very sweet. Or when young they are good in curry.
Hi - thanks for your comments. We have two varieties, one has a firmer texture and is not quite as sweet and also makes a very nice jam. And yes, you certainly need to oil EVERYTHING before you open them!
