Default Re: Is it Time?

Those will probably ripen fine if you harvested them now, but at less than 6 months in So Cal (not the tropics), I'd wait until you see a finger start to turn yellow. The fastest any variety has ripened for me in Ventura is 7 months -- and Dwarf Brazilian is a bit slower. No harm in waiting.

If you are anxious to try them, cut off a single hand or even just a few fingers and see how they ripen.
