After experiencing Lilikoi for the first time on the Big Island, I am trying to grow some here in North FL. This is year 2 and the vine finally has fruit on it (14, which may not sound like much to y'all in Hawaii but I am thrilled). However, the fruit has been green for weeks and, although they have gotten large enough, they have not changed color. I googled it but do not see a timeline for how long it takes the green fruit to ripen (I only see the timeline from pollination). I am not sure if these are they purple or yellow variety. I am dying for them to ripen and would love to know how patient I have to be! BTW--Publix has them in stock right now at my local store--2 for $6!
