Harvesting green Cananga Odorata seed pods

Posted by pilotkh4 N.T. Aust (My Page) on Mon, Feb 28, 05 at 9:48
Can anyone tell me if I'm O.K. to pick and ripen Cananga seed pods. I have some really nice, fat ones on some of my trees, looking like little avocadoes. I want to get them off the trees before the birds get them but I don't know if they will ripen off the tree.
Thanks,

Hello Brendon,
How did you go with the C.ororata seeds? There are plenty of these trees around Cairns, both in gardens and in the surrounding rainforest. I have one in my garden and there is a huge one growing opposite my house. The scent in the evenings is lovely. I can't say I have ever heard your query before but I do know that the ripe fruit are readily eaten by birds & bats so I reckon when that starts to happen would be the right time to harvest.
