It will need to have been on the tree for approximately nine months. You will know if it is about to open, because there will be an inwards-facing fold on one side of the seed pod, which happens just prior to the pod opening. My first pods start opening in late October, and contue through to March, so it is possible that your pod could be near to opening. I would find a warm spot indoors, perhaps a window sill where a window gets a fair bit of sunlight, and leave it there for a few weeks to continue drying, before breaking open the pod.
Kind regards
