I haven’t heard about the freezer trick before. That makes me think it’s okay to leave them on the tree even if we are having light frosts. Can you pick and ripen them if they are only 3/4 orange. It is my first year getting fruit

A Fuyu variety that is astringent? My Fuyu tree has been in the ground for over ten years and it only fruited once, other times just sat there with luscious leafy growth. I wonder the pruning to arm’s reach impedes its ability to produce fruits? Or weather related?

My hachiya tree produces the most delectable fruits but it’s 30ft tall and I have to use an extendable fruit-picker to harvest them. How do I do that without damaging the twigs?
