I would leave it up for 1000 Celsius growing degree days if you could. I just had some of my Dwarf Cavendish plants throw bunches in mid-August and here in southern Florida it is not predicted to reach that until late October-mid November. Your best bet is probably to just take it off before that first frost and ripen them as long as they have plumped up a bit.
