I was thinking it must be getting close to paw paws to start ripening and falling. End of august first of September thing around here. I’m not sure what eats them in the wild but I watched a huge patch of them one fall hoping to bowhunt deer in them only to suspect deer won’t touch them. The longer you let them ripen after you bring them home the better they are. The skins will go from green to black and they flavor increases 10 times. 

This pic is from august 27, 2016 so I’d say your timing is about right. I grab the tree and shake it, then let them ripen at home. They won’t last a night on the ground

So what do these taste like?

It’s an amazing fruity taste. I’m not sure what I’d compare it to. Yes @TnRiver46 nailed it with the take em home let em ripen idea. I’d like see you place some in the live cages and see what we get? 

You definitely need to find some DP and give them a sample.

Everyone says they taste like mango crossed with banana. I think they taste kind of like nothing but it’s cool and refreshing when you find them on a hot day. Rachel made a pie out of them and hated it, I ate the entire pie
