Yes, the angsana fruit, also known as the cannonball tree fruit, becomes hard when it is ripe. Initially, the fruit is soft and fleshy but as it matures, it develops a tough, woody shell. This hardening helps protect the seeds inside as they prepare for dispersal.

How can you tell when a dragon fruit is ripe?

When your dragon fruit has redder skin than you would typically see on one, it is ripe. You can also tell by the spiny leaf tips. If they have died off, then you will know that it is ready to be picked. One more thing - squeeze it. Dragon fruits can be determined on whether or not it is ripe depending on how hard or soft they are. A soft dragon fruit is a ripe dragon fruit. If you picked it but aren't sure, cut it in half and look at the seeds. If they resemble on of a kiwi, it is ripe; if it looks like dried brown fuzz then it is not. Remember: dragon fruits are sweet. If that's not how it tastes, then it was not ready.
