Would you normally wait untit the fruit turns yellow before picking the fruit off? It is just easier to manage the ripe fruit when it is cut Is there a magic number of leafs I should leave on the tree? I don't know 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? Not sure about this theory.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?
4 months from flower to the pictures that I took today with fruit turning yellow.
