Default Re: When is fruit ready?

My Orinocos took 4 month to start turning yellow on the stem. You can harvest some of them green and use as plantains. Once you cut the raceme, they will all ripen at once--so unless you want a bunch ripe at the same time, I suggest harvesting a hand at a time and maybe trying a few green.
