Hi

I am in Perth and have a heavily laden navel orange tree, I want to know
how do I know when the fruit is truly ripe. Last year we picked fruit
only to find they looked ripe but were still a bit sour.


When ALL the greeness is gone from the fruit. Look closely. Pick one and
try it for sweetness.
