Pick one and try it.


I did of course (or rather my son did). It's not ripe, but not too far
off. The question is how well it will ripen off the tree without
treatment, so the bugs don't get them.




Pick a few for your fruit dish. Leave the rest on the tree till you see
what happens when the picked ones ripen enough to eat. Doesn't sound
like you'll have to wait long.
