My Vietnamese buddy has a taste for not quite ripe fruit. He said in the old country everyone would come steal your fruit as it ripened. He who could stomach the greenest fruit won.
- jcoffland 8y agoA bit of high velocity rock salt is a wonderful deterrent.
- toomanybeersies 8y agoI did notice that a bit in Vietnam, come to think of it. The also enjoyed eating it with salt. It's actually quite a nice taste, salty and tart.
- geomark 8y agoI've got a similar problem with chipmunks and the Marian plums I grow. The chipmunks start raiding the trees when the fruit just begins turning yellow and becoming fragrant. But all they do it take a bite and throw the still somewhat green fruit on the ground.

- JoeAltmaier 8y agoHa! I lived next to Vietnamese neighborhood in San Jose in the 90's. Never got to taste the fruit on my trees; gangs of kids would come along a few days before it was ripe and boost one another up and take all the almost-ripe fruit.
