In other words this Sharifa is not actually Sahreef

Lol, I guess not. A bit of a badmash. Last summer it almost died so I trimmed it to the bare minmum and thought I would give it a chance. That worked and it blooed this past winter. Had many flowers but only ten fruit which would not rippen. I have been told that one should pick sharifa's from the tree before they rippen and place them in a brown paper bag, is that true? If you have any tips for my tree please let me know.

my shareefa tree gave me about 20 huge sweet tasting fruits .. and it is still has some baby ones that are growing ... i let the fruit ripen on the tree ...i did trim it last summer and its grown since then . i dont do anything special for it .. just water it

Sara, that is what I have been doing besides spraying it once every two month because the leaves turn black because I assue of some kind of illness (as you can see I also know a lot about trees:)). I have another Sharifa tree by the kitchen which only flowers but never fruits. It does not get much sun, so maybe that is the reason, beats me.

hmm i hope some expert out here can help you out ...

Mine doesn't tease me for fruits.May be shareefa is flirty and teases females only.
