Different kinds of fruit

Hi

(I am sure I will have considerable difficulty wording this question, but...)

I live in an agricultural country that is famous for different kinds of fruit. One type of fruit in the market (mangoes, for example) is low quality that falls (premature; later forcefully ripened) off a tree for some reason. Strong winds are a major culprit. This type of premature fruit is usually sold at a low price. The other type is carefully picked fruit (naturally ripened) that is much more tastier--and this tasty, juicy type hits the market slightly late. Now this is how we talk when buying fruit.

Do the red parts sound natural to your native ears? Any suggestions please?

  1. Don't buy apples/mangoes/guavas now. It's all fallen (fruit).
  2. Don't buy apples/mangoes/guavas now. They're still selling fallen fruit.

Thanks,

Tom
