Adding your location to your profile would help us all. Ripening times for several fruits -- including avocado vary greatly between central CA, southern CA, central and southern FL, PR, CR, and Ecuador.

"Hang time" does not refer to time until ripeness, but instead "time from ripeness until they fall off the tree".

If the characteristics of Wurtz are appealing to you and suitable to your environment, then I recommend you grow Holiday instead.
