Will this ripen before winter

Hello
How long do you think it will take for the fruit to be edible or is thiswhatit shouldlooklike. Any suggestions for improving the quality of the fruit?

 

@hi2u_uk
Assuming it's a blueberry: how long it will take to ripen depends on the weather, which of course depends on where you are in the country and how much sun/shade it gets in your compound.
As for the quality of the fruit you'll have to decide when you taste it.
What do you think the problem is with the fruit?
If I remember rightly this is a young plant so quantity and possibly quality could well improve as the plant matures.
If it was mine I'd remove the chicken wire imprisoning it.

 

Or is it that cranberry.

 

Yes I think it must be cranberry. You have to be patient with fruit bushes, they can take a few years to get into their stride.

 

I think that's actually a Chilean guava, Ugni molinea. They crop quite late in the season for me but they don't get as much sun as they would like. I would just make sure it gets a sunny spot and stays moist.
They should be ready when they have a deep red colour.

 

I suppose it would have been nice if the op had actually mentioned what it is.

 

My myrtus ugni have long since finished

 

When I first looked at the picture I did think it looked like Chilean Guava, mine has a more upright habit though.
However I was sure the op had mentioned blueberries earlier in the year.

 

my ugni is quite upright. looks like the fruit needs another month on mine

 

It looks like an ugni to me - and i usually harvest in October

 

I've got an ungi that @CarolineL sent me a couple of years ago, I planted it out last year and it got quite badly damaged by frost in December.
So I potted it up again this year but no fruit, looking much better though, I'm sure the fruit ripened in mid summer last year.

 

Amongst other things.

 

Its chilean guava

 

I was wrong. I thought mine had ripened and fallen off earlier. So Ive just eaten these. They were good and ripe, though poor crop compared to previous years.
@pete this is the same as the one I gave you called myrtus ugni "kapow". I wonder if that clone is less frost proof.

 

Well mine went Kopow last December.

TBH it wasn't in great position as I've run out of those.
