Today I noticed two fruits on one of my Cornus Mas. I didn't think that tree even flowered, so it was a pleasant surprise. (The other one had a lot of flowers.) I ate one, and it was clearly underripe - hard and very sour, but not too bad. The other one was slightly redder, but also hard to the touch.

How can I tell when it is ripe?

I'm tempted to just pick the fruit now, before some critter gets it, but it would be neat to get it to ripen.

thanks,
