Fruit starts to ripen in September

I love September - it is the month when the seasons change from the cold crisp nights to warm balmy weather and sunny blue skies. The orchard comes to life as many trees start to flower, and fruit ripens overnight. We have started picking Malay Roseapple and Star Apple - two fruit with wonderful flavour. The smell of roses is an amazing thing to find on a fruit, and the fruit tasters are delighted - it tastes crisp and delicous just like an apple. The birds and the bats love them too.
