Reach maturity (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ripen

'reach maturity' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

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

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Newsday.com and the Sydney Morning Herald.
