My diligence (and willingness to hose down perps) has
paid off big time! I have twenty fuyu persimmons turning
that beautiful burnished orange/rust. At what point are
these rubies ready to harvest? Hachiya brown and turn
mushy; fuyu's remain solid all the way through...

In my case, they seem to be ready just after they get eaten
up by squirrels.

That would be both the Mandarin and Honey oranges in my backyard,
each loaded-to-breaking with fruit bearing fence-high limbs for that
quick grab-and-nibble snacking urge the local blackies enjoy.
