Does anyone know when these are ready? I have a tree, planted last year and it has about 20 fruit on, they are very large but very green. Don't know if the spot is too shady.

Remember also that citrus fruit does not ripen off the tree like some other fruit. If you pick it too early it will not ripen.

On the other hand it does not go over ripe if you leave it on the tree so you can have a supply for 3 or 4 months. You often see fruit still on the tree when they are flowering in the Spring.
