fruit initiation stage

[edenny]

The Env Study Centre dataset from India includes a phase for fruit bud/fruit initiation. He described it to me as "just after the fall of petals small fruit bud appears after the falling of flower, immature fruit means not yet ripened the stage between fruit bud and ripened fruit". It is followed by an immature fruit stage.

Should we add something for this?

Hi @edenny I have noticed that as well. I'm currently editing a branch to submit a pull request for that issue.

@ClaudHGE, could you please add your justification for including a new class here?

🚧 working on it!

This sounds reasonable to me and works for the datasets I have seen so far.

One point of clarification though @ClaudHGE ....where you write:

"Now, when a fruit is in the 'fruit unripe stage', an occurrent entity, what we can actually observe is the 'unripe fruit' (PPO:0001045), a continuant entity, and the respective phenological trait would be ‘ripe fruit presence’ (PPO:0002047) and we could either annotate ‘ripe fruits present’ (PPO:0002345) or 1 'ripe fruit'. (Please correct me if I am wrong). "

I think you meant to say the respective phenological trait would be ‘unripe fruit presence’ , correct?

You are absolutely right! I've edited the comment.
