I am having a terrible time posting on Dave's. I will try again but if only 1 post, I will try later to post the other pics for Nadine and Jeanette. Dave's sure hates me today!

Oh Jeanette, how exciting for you. So you have a nice sang pod!!! I had a huge sang pod though my Vulcanicola pods were small. What I found, and I did not have many, was that my pods never showed they were ripe. I let some go for 12 months!!! And when I opened them they were germinating inside. So I would go by the calender, and at 9 months cut a little hole in the side and see if the seeds are brown.

But since I have such limited experience with sangs, let me ask Jeanne to take a look here and give you her advice. She is on vacation right now but will be back soon.

See after 12 months, I finally peeked in. The outside never changed. The sang pod walls were so thick.
