When is the best time to pick blackboy peaches? They've grown in size quite a bit in the last week. Will they be better tasting if left till dropping?

No. Pick and they ripen anyway

I like them off the ground, but we've just had friends around who picked two buckets from the tree as they do most years. They reckon they ripen in a day or two. Beautiful peaches this year here in Chch, and lighter in colour than usual.

Huge peaches which are ripe now in Chch. Delicious.

My aren't quite ready and if they drop to the ground the chickens would be in heaven. I picked one last week and cut some to eat and it was still a few weeks off being ripe. I would like to try them fully ripened by the tree.
