Green as in ripe, like fruit

What do you mean, green as in inexperienced? Yes that's a put down, because how is a person supposed to get experience if you write them off for not having it.
I'm not "green" but I've been there. You can't treat someone with disrespect just for being young.

The classic meaning is that someone is inexperienced, not "ripe." It may be construed as an insult, but it's really just a detemination of their current skill level.

Do you mean "green" as in inexperienced, or environmentally conscientious? Either way I don't think it's that negative.

sometimes "green" is used to refer to someone without a lot of experience (for example, troops fresh out of bootcamp are "green". they have combat training, but no combat experience)

Maybe not negative, but certainly disrespectful.

No, usually it's said to keep them safe from making big mistakes and to warn others to teach them not taunt them

It sounds pretty negative to me. It's kinda demeaning...
