I have a Rosella Bush growing and at present it is about 1.5mtr high and about the same in width, this is my first experience of growing one. It is absolutely covered in fruit, however I am not sure on how big they will grow before I am able to pick them. Could someone please advise me on this? thank you

Hi Joy, They can be harvested at any time, once the calyx has firmed. Some grow up to the size of a walnut, others hazelnut. And remove the seed with an apple corer, it's quite easy that way.
