My trees are only 2 yrs old. Anyone know if that makes a difference?

Different varieties ripen at different times of the year. It's widely believed that the later, the better.

I actually read something about the cold temps triggering something in the fruit.

Something I only recently learned is how dam long you can leave them on the tree. Last year I ate some off of a friend's tree when we went to a crawfish boil at his house at the beginning of May.

Leave a few and see how long they stay good. You'll be surprised.
