Oh, ok. I thought you had started a whole bunch of them from seed; I misunderstood.
That article said they ripen in November, and it is from California. I'm guessing it will be somewhat similar for yours.
I'm sorry I can't help more.
Harvest: Ripening depends both on cultivar grown and local climatic conditions. Commercially, the fruit is harvested mature-ripe when its soluble sugars
reach 6.5brix on a refractometer. For the home grower it is best to wait for harvest until at least November1, but November15 would be preferable. Seed
inside should be fully black by this time. If available, a specifically designed fruit ripening bowl can be used to quickly ripen a few fruit to see if
the rest of the crop is ready to be picked. Once harvested, place the hard fruit into plastic bags and put into the refrigerator for keeping. When needed,
the fruit can be taken out of the refrigerator and ripened on the counter for a few days in a plastic bag. Well stored fruit can last for several months.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
