Determining Plum Ripeness Beyond Color Cues
Harold Neigh of Penn State extension notes color alone does not indicate plum ripeness. Some varieties ripe yellow-green or red, purplish blue, or black, with quality shown by plump clean fruit, full color, and slight softening at the tip signaling maturity. Immature fruit is not ready.
