We've had tons of rain here this month and the peduncles on the
infructescenses of Arisaema are mushing out.  The berries are fat and gre=en
but not yet coloring and I'm curious if anyone has a procedure to
successfully ripen green fruits.

I've ripened green berries on Amorphophallus and Philodendron in the past=by
placing them into a plain brown paper bag, sometimes including a small
apple, and the ripening process was slow but successful.  So far, Arisaem=a
fruits haven't responded; they just dry out.

Thoughts? Suggestions?  I'd appreciate them...
Petra
