Default Re: To harvest or not to harvest. That is the question.

Definitely no expert so what I'm suggesting may be totally stupid but, if you will have no further access to ripe fruit from your patch when you leave, why not cut a few hands to take with you just before you hit the road and hope they ripen? I left my flourishing DC in Jacksonville; I'm sure she fruited this year but I have no way to know or even taste my 1st fruit. I have a plantain and 2 others in the ground at my house but I suspect it will be another year before they flower.
