@outofcontrol@phpc.social nice haul. Hadn't heard of them. Hope they're tasty. Are they a bit sour straight off the tree?

@ottaross@mastodon.social Well, if I pick when fully ripe (black), they are quite sweet. But then I would have none left from the birds. These are still a bit tart at this stage, but hoping they will be good in a jelly. Since they had started to fall off already I figured worth nabbing now. This is just a normal black cherry tree, which can grow over 80 feet tall. In a few years I may not be able to reach these anymore. The photo doesn’t do the colour justice, they are quite a bit darker, not bright red.
