Requiring the longest maturity time, the Guatemalan avocado needs 15 to 18 months to change from its flowering blooming period to a full harvest. On average, the tree blooms in March and April, but will not be ready for harvesting until the year after between September through January.
How can I tell when my avocados are ripe? Avocados do not ripen on the tree, that is, they do not get soft while on the tree. Once you pick an avocado, it takes about 7 to 10 days for it to soften when left at room temperature. You can speed the process up slightly by placing the avocado in a bag with some other ripe fruit (like an apple) or slow the process down by keeping the fruit in the refrigerator.
