In my opinion, they're better if they ripen for 2 or 3 days after they are 
picked (blet?).

Have both a red & a yellow fruited variety-I think the yellow tastes better 
(almost a banana like flavor when soft).

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,
