12/10 I'm going to leave it a little longer, this week it seems that it has matured quite suddenly, so before the rains return I will harvest it with whatever, unless I lose the clamp.
19/10 I have to wait for most of the moisture to go away from the rain that has fallen, I could not harvest before, I hope I can do it in 3 days, while it is taking on a dangerous and very appetizing color.
Get some pipe thread tape (teflon) and if there is any bark still connected and it hasn't been too long since it happened , you can tape it back up in place and never miss a beat. Have done it many times but some of those branches you got are real honkers so you may need to support it with a stake also.
