I only tasted guamuchiles once from the farmer's marked in Guadalupe. I don't think they were fully ripe as the pods were mostly closed and they were pretty sour. I'm hoping the tree makes it to fruit as I think they are frost sensitive. I'm trying to figure out a good place for it since they can get pretty big but need frost protection. I suspect I'll be pruning plenty of frost damaged thorny branches in the future.
Yeah, the pods have to be split open, and they shouldn't be sour, they should be more perfumey, like eating flowers. I hope you are successful with your tree!!
