I was down in sunny Florida, visiting my grandmother for her 95th birthday. As we usually do we picked some oranges to take back with us. While selecting between tangerines, oranges, and lemons I came across the most amazing fruit. It was just begging to be picked and kept, so I did.

Thanks for looking...

onkyo · 16 December 2008, 02:31 PM

I never saw a tree like that here in Brooklyn.

Black Knight · 16 December 2008, 02:37 PM

Nice photo - thanks!

Earl · 16 December 2008, 08:31 PM

very important to pick these as soon as they ripen for, if you don't get them as soon as they mature you risk them falling and becoming vintage... hehehehe

ROLEX MAN · 16 December 2008, 08:50 PM

OH DEAR I bought mine in at a AD, didn't know they grow on trees!!

joeyk · 16 December 2008, 11:13 PM

JF23 · 16 December 2008, 11:25 PM

Reminds me of the sub I once found while harvesting Mangos...

Latrodectus · 17 December 2008, 12:44 AM

I come and help you harvesting

Good picture

eric23 · 17 December 2008, 12:47 AM

Great Photo!

Tony-GB · 17 December 2008, 01:01 AM

Excellent!

mfer · 17 December 2008, 01:15 AM

Not fruit but the bushes in my front yard produce Rolex as well....

builtforspeed · 17 December 2008, 02:12 AM

This never before seen image seems to contradict Jocke's recent photo-essay concerning the way Rolexes are brought into the world (or dare I say, come to fruition).

Great shot. I'll bet that grove charges more than $10 a bag to pick 'em yourself!

Cheers,

Chris

gman11377 · 17 December 2008, 02:18 AM

Nah, not 10 bucks a bag. FREE. (The grove is my family's) the oranges and tangerines are a special hybrid that are nigh on impossible to find anymore, the big freezes in the 80's and 90's almost wiped them out. MUCH different taste than can be gotten in a store. Didn't mean to contradict Jocke's work though, have been a fan of his for years..

Dr.B · 17 December 2008, 02:22 AM

Pick it fast......

f16570 · 17 December 2008, 07:29 AM

If only it were true.

oneillba · 17 December 2008, 09:41 AM

It looks ripe to me.

bradg · 17 December 2008, 10:32 AM

That Roley needs picked. Cool photo

Nica64 · 17 December 2008, 12:00 PM
