Walnut harvest usually begins in the southern and central valleys in early September and the northern regions in early October. The walnuts are ready to be harvested when the green outer hull splits exposing the nut. At this time, many walnuts have already dropped from the trees to the orchard floor. Nuts that have not dropped naturally are then mechanically shaken from the tree.
Unlike most fruits, pears must be picked from. the tree before they ripen for best flavor and. texture. Tree-ripened pears do not have the best. quality. If left to ripen on the tree, pears become. coarse and gritty. Pick pears when they are. mature but still firm, and before they fall to the. ground. Buy fresh pears that are fairly firm but not hard. Undersized fruit thatâs not mature may shrink or. shrivel during storage.
