Across every region on FarmHop. Darker months are peak somewhere; your own region is narrower, and the table below gives it.
What to look for
- 1
Heavy fruit has more juice-filled arils
- 2
Shape should be angular, not round (means full arils)
- 3
Skin can be scratched or rough. That's normal
- 4
Color should be deep red to burgundy
- 5
Use clippers to cut the thick stem
