The mature pods will fall, but the tasty stage (with the cotton candy stuff) is while they are immature and thus must be picked before they fall.
We recently had three ice cream bean trees cut (on makai side of Pahoa)-- they were ~20 years old and about 50' tall.
There are lots of seedlings under where ours were standing, easy to get to -- email me if you want some.
