Avocados do not get soft on the tree. Even if they fall from the tree in a mature condition they are hard. It could take from 4-6 days for the fruit to get soft. If you have a common avocado tree you can find information on line. If it is a Florida Variety go to the Pine Island Avocado viewer, there they give you a maturity range. If you variety is not there or you don't know what it is, I would wait until mature fruit starts falling off the tree and it gets soft in a few days and most important it taste good to you. That point in time could set up the basis of a picking mid point. In my experience the fruit taste better the longer it hangs on the tree.
