I have these two bunches that have been hanging for about 7 months and 9 months respectively now. As I'm going to be moving down south for the summer in a few weeks, I want to cut these down before I take off. Here's what we've got.
I have this healthy two year old Misi Luki mat. These have been hanging since around September of last year. They are pretty filled out, but the main p-stem lost most of its leaves to winter frost. The fruits are intact and pretty nicely filled out, but no signs of yellowing yet. Pics:

I also have this Blue Java/Ice Cream bunch that has been hanging since last summer. The mat is of the same age. This one has been an anemic grower, even though the soil it's growing in seems to be pretty good (it's a lot rockier than the Misi Luki's soil though) and I've been giving it fertilizer when I can. Some of the fruits have rotted off, but on the intact fruits the tips seem to be yellowing. Pics:

So is it safe to cut either of these bunches down? I don't want fruit quality to be too negatively affected. Or should I wait a few more weeks? I have until the second week of June.
