Re: Do you think there are ready?
They look as good as what I found in the supermarket. Does that answer your question?

Re: Do you think there are ready?
Perhaps yours are fat--fatter than grocery store specimens. I'm not a very observant person but neither they nor yours seem to busting out of their skins. Though a picture may be worth a thousand words, a personal squeeze and assessment wins over prose and poses hands down. Picking one to test and perhaps savor? Score.

Re: Do you think there are ready?
No, the "taste a grape police" would be all over that. I am not a fan of ripe bananas. There, I've admitted that I like firm, green skinned fingers. I also love all other fruit under-ripe (green tomatoes only if fried perfectly) so shoot me. I'm quite certain that's why persimmons have passed these lips but once--immature ones pack a real pucker.

Re: Do you think there are ready?
Michael,
As I was checking mine today I saw the brown marks on the most mature hand so mine may similiarly be close to "stretch marks" I'll keep and eye on them. By the way it was the Orinoco mat with five fruiting P-stems, the one near the back of the Citrus grove.

Ancient technique for killing Squirrels (I quit counting I think I'm over 250 & they are not wasted), and other animals squatting or attempting to steal my bounty are turning into compost.. :^)
