- Subject: [NAFEX] cornus mas ripe?
- Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 23:52:12 -0400
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,
