First, I'll apologize for the quality of the pictures. My cacti are packed so close together at that end of the greenhouse that I could barely get my tablet in there to take any pictures.
Of all the flowers that my Trichocereus grandiflorus produced, I only got two bodies of fruit from it. At this point one of them has now split open and looks to be... what... ready to pick? Not wanting to do anything inappropriate, I twisted at it gently. And it resisted coming off. So I desisted. But I don't want to see the seed just spill out into the pot, or worse yet, onto the ground. I'd really kind of like to harvest them.
So should I go ahead and pull it off the cactus now and clean out the fruiting body or should I wrap something around it to capture the seed as it spills out, or should I wait a little longer, or some other option all together?
It's the first year that I've got any fruit from the Trichocereus, and I don't know how to handle it. Anybody got a 'I think I've got the best idea' ideas?
