🔍 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.
European pear (Pyrus communis 'Bartlett'): Classic Bartlett: skin turns yellow-green from green. Harvest when the neck near the stem gives to light pressure. Ripens off the tree in 4–7 days at room temperature.
On the East side of NE 6th St. there is an empty grass-filled lot between the house on the corner and the apartment's fenced-in playground & picnic area that has 2 large Bartlett Pear trees growing near the street. One is 15' tall with fruit-filled branches growing so they are hanging nearly into the street. Next to that is a much older and larger pear tree that is topping off at 30'+ in height with branches higher up and harder to reach and it is rather difficult to harvest the massive amount of pears growing on the mossy branches.
Further back in the lot is a huge fruit tree that is at least 35' high with a huge branch growing along the ground. The fruit are green and taste and smell like some kind of citrus fruit but I cannot determine the variety. They are about 1"-1.5" in diameter with a roundish shape and skin similar to a mandarin's thin peelable rind but green in color.
UPDATE: I think it is an avocado if unknown variety.
