The fruit will rot in the soil and attract all kinds of unwanted critters. I would'nt think it would make it taste like any kind of fruit.Some people put apples in the bud they store.Later on it just molds. It's the curing that gives the final taste. I use a product from Botanicare called Sweet Berry. I use it in veg and flower. Never tastes like berry. Even cured. Here's the kicker! If not flushed in the end,it will taste like nutrients.Go figure...:thumbsup:
