we grip the selected fruit and heft it...if it gives a bit to the squeeze and feels a bit heavy...drag that bad boy inside and eat it!

I was raised in Northern California. Picking for Thanksgiving was not very sweet. Picking for Christmas, they were good.

Picking in Jan/Feb they were very sweet and delicious.

If the plant sets new buds. Pick them quick or they will get sour and turn green if they do not fall off.
