Good question-- sometimes lack of temperature changes can cause long delays to harvest time and other types of oranges can take 28 months or so to ripen. IT might depend on where your located too. Your local university should have an extension office with an agriculture agent that can help.

Hi. Great video! Here in Texas I grow really sweet tangerines on my backyard. Was watching the telescopic pole picker you have which cuts and hold the fruit by the steam, and was wondering which brand or where I could buy one of those? Any help would be great. Thanks again for the great video!

Very convincing speaker. Makes me really wonder why Hawaiian restaurants and stores don't all use Hawaiian fruit. Looks delicious.
