There are a ton growing here in Palo Alto, CA in downtown. Thousands of pods. How do you know when they are ripe? The ones here stay shriveled and brown and don't fall off immediately so I don't know which ones are tasty but the ones I've tried were dry and kind of mealy, they may have hung too long.
