Ponderosa lemon question

(1/1)

akimbo:
My ponderosa lemon bush has lemons this year that are huge and finally turning yellow?  I know that there isn't much juice in these fruits, but is there a way to tell when they are ready to be picked?  In general I have a hard time knowing when to pick citrus, as I think my other citrus trees probably have HLB and never achieved their correct color (stayed green) :(

brian:
These are the giant lemons, right?  I used to have one of these.  It has been a while but I recall that they reach normal lemon coloration when ripe and I thought they did have quite a bit of juice.

I'm not sure how HLB might affect the color, we don't have HLB where I am at

Millet:
Pick when fully or mostly yellow
