Peach Tree Harvesting: When And How To Pick Peaches How to Pick Peaches. The exact time to pick peaches is determined by the cultivar, but generally they are harvested from late June through August. Color is a great indicator of maturity. Peaches are ripe when the ground color of the fruit changes from green to completely yellow. Some of the newer peach varieties have a red tinge to the skin, but this is not a reliable barometer of ripeness. There is a fine line when harvesting peaches. You want the fruit to hang on the tree long enough for the flavor and sugar content to peak, but not so long that it becomes overripe. Overripe fruit reduces storage time and increases the possibility of disease, insect and bird damage.

How do I know when to pick pears? As a rule pears don't ripen on the tree at all well- they tend to spoil from the inside out. They are -again as a rule- best picked when firm, before they start to fall from the tree, and when the neck is slightly softened. Then, the rule says, they should be refrigerated for at least a couple of weeks.

Another method is to count the numbers of days since full bloom, if you remember when that occurred. Granny Smith is usually ripe at 165 – 180 days after full bloom.

How Do I Know if My Almond Milk Has Gone Bad? Many commercially available varieties of almond milk have been ultra pasteurized—heated very quickly 280°F and then cooled down just as fast—to extend shelf life. If it's a refrigerated carton, it's generally recommended that once opened, it should be used within seven days. Shelf stable almond milk, in addition to being ultra pasteurized, is packaged in sealed, sterile Terta Pak cartons to allow it to be stored at room temperature when it's unopened. Once opened, the carton should be stored in the refrigerator and most brands state that the milk should be used within 7-10 days of opening.

How to Know When an Apple Is Ready to Pick Monitor the color changes in the maturing apples. The fruit is ready to pick when it reaches full color, which varies by apple variety. Look for a yellow rather than green background color on apple varieties that aren't solid red at maturity. For yellow apple varieties, wait until the green color begins turning yellow to harvest.
