When to pick it

Robles Red reaches peak ripeness 32–40 days from pollination. Where you pick inside that window decides what you taste, and it is a real choice rather than a margin of error.

Gets slightly sweeter.

Flowering and fruiting run April to October, so a healthy plant gives you several rounds of fruit across the season — and several chances to try picking at different days and decide which you prefer.

Breeder’s ratings

In order to score a 5/5 for flavor by HDF standards, a fruit must have a perfect balance of acidity & sweetness!
