    I have two Beach Plum bushes that thrive here in zone 3 but they don't 
both ripen at the same time.  The green fruit on the later ripening one is 
just now starting to turn red; they'll eventually turn blue.  If I harvest 
the unripe fruit before an expected killing frost, can I expect the fruit to 
finish ripening off the bush?
