harvest seed from a candle bush

Question

Can I harvest seed from a candle bush before the pods turn dark? A storm broke several branches from my candle bush and pods are still green. I live in Louisiana and haven’t grown a bush from seed yet. My bush did not come back on its own last year. I love that plant and do not want to lose it.

Answer 1

By all means harvest the seeds and allow them to dry in the pods.

They may not be as viable but still worth the chance.
