Default Re: Flag too late again...ready to just get rid of them.

I got unlucky last year and got a Raja Puri bloom in November, which is actually outside our normal growing season here. We got (I think) a few light frosts, which is rare in my area. The fruits were killed by the prolonged cold. Now, I know our winters are different. California winters are much longer (about 5 months of off season where it's too cold for growth, at least in my area) with more consistent cold, so you at least have a better chance than I do. Especially because you have an Ice Cream, whose fruit are more hardy. I say leave it on the stalk and see what happens.
