Default Re: How long until I can harvest my fruit?

When the fingers fill in and spots start to show on the skins I cut the bunch down. Ripening to yellow in-situ only leads to bugs, critters, early spoilage and skin split. Hang em in the house and cut oldest hands as they ripen.

Exception to above is when a frost is imminent and fill in not finished. Cut down - small naners better than no naners.
