Anyway, these photos were taken around 2 months ago and now there are in excess of 40 pods on them!

Horrible...

So my question is, now the plant seems to be begining to die - leaves are going brown etc..

How long should one wait till the pods should be picked? or do you just wait till they they drop/open and release their seeds?

I'm asking this question as i don't want anymore of this visious plant in my area and either way, i want this plant destroyed entirely and the seeds spread as far away from my area as possible to ensure they do not pop up again.

PS: I believe the plant is of the Utilis variety

Hi Heffa,

You can pick them any point from now.

Just make sure 100% that they are are indeed var utilis before attempting a harvest or you will have a really rough time of things.
