They don't do either Chris, if you don't take them off, then they dry out on the tree like a peach does. Eventually they dehydrate until they look like a mesh pod with brown seeds inside.
You really have to check daily if the peduncle starts to wither or the pod starts to soften.
If you are in doubt, you can always cut out a piece of the pod and check the colour of the seeds..put some tape over the cut.
These didn't change colour but the peduncle had begun to wither.
