The fruits should be dark red, almost black. The best ones have dropped and laid on the ground for a day. That's the way they are considered best in Turkey.
I have hundreds of pounds of fruit if I had time to handle them all.

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,
