First thought at the title was: It depends if she will slap you or not.
On reading it Yes you may as well, developing the fruits is irrelevant to you so get rid of them unless youa re intending to try develop a new strain from the cross that created the fruit. Which I doubt is your intention. They are also poisionous so are both useless (in general) and a hazard.
