Remove leaf shadowing the fruit?
Will the fruit ripe faster if I remove leaves that prevent the sun from hitting them or is that useless?

Re: Remove leaf shadowing the fruit?
You don't really want the fruit in the direct sunlight. The big companies will actually put them in blue bags and they ripen faster.

Re: Remove leaf shadowing the fruit?
No, removing the shading leaf will not help the fruit ripen. It has nothing to do with sunlight, and, like stated above, it's actually better off shaded than in direct sunlight.
