Will oranges ripen after picking?
Oranges do not continue to ripen significantly after being picked, as they are non-climacteric fruits. Unlike climacteric fruits like bananas or tomatoes that can ripen post-harvest, oranges develop their sweetness and flavor primarily while still on the tree. However, they can soften slightly and improve in taste if stored properly. For the best flavor, it’s ideal to consume them when they're fully ripe on the tree.
