Ready, in a way (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ripe

(Other definitions for ripe that I've seen before include "Ready for picking" , "Seasoned, fully grown" , "Mature, ready for harvesting" , "At fruition" , "'Fully grown, ready to be eaten (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
