Better late than to have never taste for yourself. When it fruits, pick it as soon as it smells fragrant and you will be rewarded with a treat unlike any you have ever bought in a store!!! The flavor is what makes it worth the 18-24 month wait.

Looks like you have got the right medium and proper size pot to remain until maturity. Be on the look out for pups just prior to picking your fruit. If the weather is cold, the pups may come after you pick the fruit so dont through away the parent even if it looks like its dying. Let the pups grow as high as they like until they begin to open their leaves wide. They should be about 1/2-2/3 the size of the parent plant, and will then have enough roots to separate.

Good luck and congrats!
