A pain in the butt to pick the fruit. I run into them while picking
choke cherries. Both have clusters of fruit not unlike grapes. Choke
cherries ripen the whole cluster at the same time. Black cherries ripen one
cherry at a time with the whole cluster ripening over a couple of weeks with
never more than one or two ripe berries to be found within the cluster -
berries fall off soon after ripening if the birds don't get them first.
