Not necessarily.

A coconut, for example, will continue the maturation process for a long time
after it has been picked.

I am trying to eliminate Torilis arvensis, False hedge-nettle from our
property by pulling the plants.

I would assume that seed development would stop as soon as the plant
has been pulled and it would be safe to drop the plant on the ground
without fear of any immature seeds germinating. Correct?

The plant is in the flowering stage now.

Thanks,
Mac
