I usually wait till they are about to fall off the tree, as the husk has to be brown and like paper. The fruit inside should be a yellowy/orange colour as well.

One thing that can cause this is over watering as the fruit develops as it swells the fruit too quickly compared with the rate the skin grows. Try reducing watering if you may have been a little heavy-handed with the hose. It can happen with tomatoes also.

The leaves of my goosberry bush are turning yellow. Does this mean we need to fertilise more often?

I have observed my leaves turning yellow also, but what I have noticed is that as they turn yellow, there are new young green leaves [new growth] appearing right next to yellow leaves.these are just old leaves dying off as new leaves appear. Hope this helps. SUE

My bush is covered in 'fruit' - they stay green, very few ripen. if they do they are only half recipe. Many do not form. The bush is in full sun, very drained, and fed. Any clues. I am lucky to get 25 pods per week. Thak you

I have very vigourous looking plants with a few pods but nothing in them. What am I doing wrong? Ihave a friend nearby who gets heaps or fruit so it,s not my zone.
