I think you got another reply that you just need to wait longer for them to
ripen on the tree; I had had the same thought, and agree. I believe some
ripen well after most other stone fruits, near the end of the season.

I've had you same quick-ripening experience with plums and peaches.  It
seems I have to check them every few hours!

I must admit that I didn't put them in paper bags. Frankly, I've been so 
swamped with fruit that I DIDN'T want them to ripen quickly.

But my plums ripen so fast on the counter that I can't get them eaten 
before they rot (my refrigerator is full of garden produce), so it's 
been a surprise to see the pluots apparently change not at all. :-)

Thanks, Stephen!
