I have a minature navel orange tree. At what point are the oranges considered ripe enough to pick?

Generally speaking, the peel should give a little under your fingers yet still be firm enough to return to it's shape. The fruit should be easy to remove from the tree and not take a great deal of twisting and pulling. Try one...see if it's ripe enough.

Good luck
