Become ready to pick (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ripen

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ripen that I've seen before include "Season" , "Become ready to pick" , "Become ready for picking" , "Become ready for harvesting" , "Grow mature like fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
