Maturity Release Dates
Based upon historical dry weight data, each season the Avocado Inspection Service of the California Department of Food and Agriculture establishes release dates by size for each avocado variety. Prior to the release dates, fruit of the specified variety and size will be tested by the state for maturity. Fruit can be marketed without testing once the release date has passed.
