Can someone tell me when Laxton Superb are ready for eating please?


Ripe Dec-Jan, keeping till Feb/Mar


Thanks. It's obvious, even to a newbie to gardening like me, that they
aren't ready yet, but I didn't know when.

You'll need to pick them before December (before they get frosted) and
let them ripen in storage. Leave them on the tree as long as you dare.
