Become ready to harvest (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ripen

'become ready to harvest' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ripen that I've seen before include "Mature, age" , "Become ready to harvest" , "Get ready to eat" , "Become ready for picking" , "Come to maturity like fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
