We used to harvest around March/April on the Sun****ne Coast QLD, so 
presumably it'd be at least couple of months later for your area.

I'd try one now and see what you have.
Trial and error is the only way, aside from having an avo analysed for 
it's oil content (which is what we used to do - a small commercial avo 
farm) which naturally still means picking one :)

Apart from that - the longer they stay on the tree, the better as far as
the existing fruit is concerned.
I used to have my own private stash of avos on the trees even into late 
November/December... and they were very yum indeed, very high in oil.
