| I wait until it takes almost no effort to separate it from the plant or when it drops. I haven't gotten much fruit from my vines and quite a bit of it has been empty, just little sacks of pith. Karyn |

| Think Hawaiian Punch and you'll have an idea of what the fruit tastes like. On the plants that I've had palatable fruit the smell is actually better than the taste. Many of mine are fairly acidic but that might be because they are over-ripe. I was trying to get viable seed. Karyn |

| Just wait for the fruit to drop. That's the best way to tell--especially with some incarnata who's fruit stays green the entire time. |
