Is that an EP or Cream sickle pod? Do you know when it was pollinated? They generally take 3 to 4 months but in the cold weather they can hang on till next spring.

Feel it. Is it softening? Is the top there looking more yellow? Any splits starting? How does the peduncle look, yellowing at all?

You must watch close for they go fast in the end. Most will hold on to the branch but then they reverse and shrink up fast and the seeds mold inside. But I have had some pods that just disappear.

I will post some pods later for you to see.

See here. See my very special pod? I always look up at this when I walk by, looking for my only named pod I ever have had on it that just up and disappeared a few weeks ago. I had my eye on it too. Just gone.
