Re: [CH] When to pick Red Savina

Ma'am,

I have picked them both when they have just turned, and when they have
been red for a few (or sometimes several) days.  I prefer to let them
hang for a couple of days after ripening as, IMHO, they have a more
pronounced flavor.  They can be picked at any time though depending on
individual preference- it's hard to screw up the flavor of a hab :-)

Once the fruit has completely colored (no green spots left) it is as
colored as it is going to get.  I haven't noticed them to turn varying
shades once they've colored.

Hope this helps!
