One green one fell off the Big Beef - I packed him for a week with several bananas and ripening tomatoes in a thick paper grocery sack hoping the ethylene gas would do it - he just was not mature enough yet. He got tossed to the animals down by the trees. Hopefully he made a nice meal for one of them - either raccoons or the possum I saw back there (almost white).
I have wrapped some in paper for way longer than a week. While some don’t ripen, most eventually do and taste better than supermarket tasteless, balls of mush.
