So this is my first year with peaches on my tree. While I know how to select ripe peaches from a grocer's I don't know when to pull the fruit from the tree. The fruit are getting to the size common in the markets and have turned bright orange / pink but are still rock hard.
Should I let the fruit go on the tree until slightly soft as I would eat it normally?
Should I let the fruit stay on the tree until I see the first evidence of pests eating it before it is soft?
This is a volunteer tree I got from a former coworker's yard so I don't even know when the expected ripening time is.
Thanks
