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.
Thanks
Sandra

fabulous.

I hope they go well , do you know which type ?
I have a nice peach tree from a very old breed which is going nuts and
every limb is laden with huge hard fruit... I sure hope the bats don't
get to them (Brisbane)

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