📍 518 Melton St, Magnolia, TX 77354, USA
🗓 Season: March · April · May · August · September
🔍 When is it ripe?
Loquat: Clusters of orange-yellow fruit; ripe when fully orange with no green, yields to gentle pressure, and comes off the stem with a slight tug. Very sweet and aromatic when right — mealy if overripe. Short shelf life after picking.
Mexican plum: Small, red to purple when ripe. Tart flavour; best for jelly or preserves. Harvests well as it begins to soften and colour fully.
These trees belong to the library as part of an effort to support local pollinators. It wouldn’t hurt to walk into the library and ask before harvesting.
