I don't have time to harvest much C. mas fruit. If someone is close
enough to come and get it, you're welcome to it. Some of the early
ripening ones are gone now, but there are still a number of trees with
a lot of crop.

Allow them to soften before eating. I generally wait for fruit drop,
as individual fruits have a tendency to mature at slightly different
times on the same tree. Once accustomed to judging ripeness with
them, you may be able to pick some from the tree. Some varieties hold
onto their fruit better than others. Yellow C. mas drop their fruit
when ripe.
Lon is a very fortunate man. Someone in Oregon should contact him to
"help" with his harvest. :)

One of my cornus mas has 14 fruits this year! (Plus two more that
I've picked.) Okay, not a huge yield, but I've previously only
gotten
1, so this feels like an actual crop.
How can I tell if the fruits are ripe? Most are fully red, a few are
still slightly pink. The two I picked were fully red, crunchy, and
very sour, although I liked the flavor. Do they get sweeter and less
sour if I let them ripen longer? How much longer? I don't think the
squirrels have realized they are food, yet, but I suppose that's only
a matter of time.
thanks,
