🔍 When is it ripe?
Avocado: Avocados ripen off the tree, not on it. Harvest when full-sized and skin darkens (Hass: dark green to black). Test by removing the stem button — green underneath means not ready, yellow-green means close, brown means overripe. Ripen at room temperature for 3–7 days.
Lemon: Fully yellow with no green remaining; skin slightly glossy and gives a little when squeezed. Heavy for its size indicates juiciness. Unlike most fruit, lemons can hang on the tree for months once ripe without deteriorating.
Loquat: Clusters of orange-yellow fruit; ripe when fully orange with no green, yields to gentle pressure, and comes off the stem with a slight tug. Very sweet and aromatic when right — mealy if overripe. Short shelf life after picking.
Orange: Fully orange skin (can be green-tinged in warm climates and still ripe). Heavy for its size, with a smooth, slightly glossy skin. Scratch and sniff — a sweet orange smell confirms ripeness. Navel oranges develop the distinctive navel opposite the stem.
Many fruit fields of lemons, oranges of different types and loquat. You might find some avocado too. They are private and farmers plant and collect them to earn money to feed their families. So please, be sensible: don't pick up a lot of fruit (at least from the same field) and do it from the trees that are next to the road (these fruits are considered of less quality and are not usually sold, farmers leave them for themselves).
The season showed (April to May) is for loquat. Other fruit are available at almost any time of the year
