They aren't that soft, but the color looks right. First year growing them so I don't know how to tell

Look good to me. The colder it gets the sweeter it will make them though. I will come pick them and let you know.

Hmm I'll wait until the first cold week. I like them sweet

My parents are ready but the trees are about 16 years old. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Had our first frost last week. Ours are perfect and all branches are hanging to the ground.

Im no expert by any means but I have a few friends that have them that let me pick how ever much I want of their trees every year and just find later in the winter they taste much better than now.
I was growing six Satsuma and orange trees in my yard that I brought back from florida years ago and the brutal winter we had two years ago destroyed them and they never produced again. Ended up saying frick it and dug them up this summer.

Mine are ready. Not sweet as after a freeze but they're edible.

I always went by this, When picked, the skin will tear at the stem and leave a small "hole" in the skin. If skin wasn't soft enough, too early

been picking for 2 weeks now. we always went, as they first start seeing yellowish on the skin they are good to go.

If you break the stem off you can't have a bud the following year. It's better to clip. I have family in buras that do this shite for a living FWIW.

Yes they are ready. The Brown's Select variety should be ripe now. The Owari variety ripens in late November/early December.

I had to start picking mine a little earlier than usual. If I wait until they are perfect, it never fails that the coons beat me to it.

Pretty sure next years flowers don't regrow on the stems left behind
