Very nice!! I cant wait for my IC to bloom, flower, fruit! How tall did yours get? Mine is about 8 foot and I am hoping for a flower already, but some say I have to wait till it hits 15 foot, others say they can flower anywhere between 8 feet and 11 feet. Would you normally wait untit the fruit turns yellow before picking the fruit off? Is there a magic number of leafs I should leave on the tree? Everytime I get to 15 or 16 leafs I cut it back down to 10 - 12 leafs. If I cut all the leafs back will it promote a flower quicker? Sorry for so many noob questions today.

Also just to be clear, you are saying after the flower poped up it still took 4 months till fruit?
