I have maypops. They are unripe. The temperature is going to get down to 19°F.  If I leave them on the vines, will the fruit be destroyed? If I pull them young will they mature inside? Not sure what's best. Thanks for your  help!

Amit I have picked them after the first frost foraging. Matter of fact you don't find very many until the leaves are off. I don't think I have waited that cold, maybe mid 20s. Might have to use them quick.
