I'm afraid there is no straightforward answer to this. There are many varieties of Oranges and they all ripen during certain times of the year. So you could have a constant supply of oranges if you had enough trees.

It depends on the variety. Most oranges are not completely ripe when they lose their green tinge. A little further maturing on the tree is needed to enable the sweetness to develop.

From the flower to the fruit, this is a long process. It can take longer than a month for an orange to ripen on the tree. Most are picked and processed before they are ripe.

Do oranges ripen fast in dark?

It depends on whether the orange is picked or not. An orange does not continue to ripen after being picked. You might have heard they ripen quicker in the dark because in tropical areas it takes a cool night for the vivid color to set in. However, the oranges color does not always indicate its ripeness. For instance, most Florida oranges are dyed in order to enhance their appeal to consumers.
