• Type: numeric
• Definition: The age [NCIT:C25150] of a plant when it is capable of sexual reproduction [GO:0000003], which is the time interval (duration) [PATO:0001309] between seed germination [GO:0009845] and when a plant is able to produce mature [PATO:0001701] seed [PO:0009010].;The age of a plant when they are able to set seed, indicating it is reproductively mature.
• Additional comments: Although reproductive maturity should be marked by the ability to set viable seed, this trait will often be scored as when plants first produce flowers, as this is easier to score. This trait is only meant to capture primary reproductive maturity, not secondary reproductive maturity following a disturbance. See a series of traits starting with `fire_time_from_fire_to_flowering` and `fire_time_from_fire_to_fruiting` for measures of secondary reproductive maturity.
