Squeeze the limes in your palm. Limes are ready to pick when they give slightly under gentle pressure. A lime that is still hard is not yet ripe and won't be juicy. Pick one lime, cut into it and sample its fruit. If the lime feels heavy for its size and the fruit inside tastes fresh and acidic, it is ready to be eaten.
If you wait too long, the pears become woody or ripen from the inside out, resulting in mushy fruit. Gauge picking times by the variety and your region. When the usual harvest time approaches, grasp a pear and gently push it to a horizontal position. Ripe pears snap easily off the tree.
