• ‘Coffee bunches’ have small fruitlets.
  
• Black bunches have expanded, black, shiny fruitlets.
  
• Unripe bunches have not shed ‘loose’ fruit but may have changed colour.
  
• Under ripe bunches have <10 loose fruit.
  
• Over ripe bunches have shed loose fruit over >50% of the bunch surface.
  
• Rotten bunches have shed most of their fruits.
