Mature, age (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

5

4,2

ripen

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'mature' is the first definition.
(to ripen is to mature)

'age' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

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

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
