• Discussion Fanatics

    If they are ready to harvest, they will ripen properly and will become soft and be ready to eat. After that, harvest fruit off the tree hard and ripen them indoors as you need them. If the fruit does not ripen properly -- it shrivels, becomes rubbery or begins to rot -- then the fruit was not ready to harvest.

    If the avocado yields to firm gentle pressure you know its ripe and ready-to-eat. Ripe, ready to eat avocados may have a darker color but color can vary so it is best to go by feel as well as color. It will feel lightly soft but it will not feel “mushy” to the touch. Ripe fruit is perfect for that day.

    how long can you leave avocados on the tree? Climatic factors may cause variations of 1 to 3 weeks. The storage life of fruit on the tree will vary from 2 months for Bacon to 8 months for Hass. Avocados are mature before picking, but not ready to eat. They must be softened off the tree.

    Similarly, do avocados ripen on the tree?

    Avocados are unique in that they ripen once theyre off the tree. But leave it for too long, and the oil inside the avocado will turn rancid and the fruit will naturally fall from the tree (at which point its no longer good). Harvest typically begins in February and goes as late as September.

    Why are my avocados dropping off the tree?

    Summer drop of immature is normal since the tree sets more fruit than it can support. 2- water stress, either too much or too little, can cause the fruit to drop. Avocado trees require well-draining soil, so overwatering can cause root rot.
