You can remove them, since doing so will allow you to get a head start on fixing the issue!

The most common reason for this will be a lack of Sulfur in the soil, as well as deficiencies in Phosphorus and Potassium.

Once you have plucked the fruit, you can begin to test the soil and correct any deficiencies.
