By harvesting, I meant how am I supposed to get to the huge amounts of berries towards the higher branches? I wouldn't want to waste all that fruit.

I've got loads of cherries dangling from trees now and they're nice and plump. Dark red, almost black... How do I know when they're ripe, how do I collect them and what recipes can I use with them without a pressure canner? Thanks in advance guys :D You're lifesavers.

Everytime I see your garden, I drool... :lol:

I spent an hour and a half picking berries and only got a small tupperware container... like the condiment size. Then again, I had two toddlers in tow. :lol: Some aren't ripe yet. I'm going to wait another week and pick some more. Right now, I'm just freezing them. Figure I can use them for...

Well what the heck?! Move that 75 acres over here and we can swap farm goodies.... PLEASEEEEEEEE :bouquet I get to pick up the buff orps in the morning, I'm soooo stoked :D

Good Bree, now send them my way :D I want tomatoes soooo bad.

It's beautiful!! :D

Thanks Pat :) You always come threw. :lol: I think I'll cut some of the area short for the goat pen and extend it the other way down the logging road. These bushes are all the underbrush and they're thick. I don't want to lose all of them, so I'll try and fence off as much as I can. Thanks for...

:hugs

Man... I tasted them and they tasted just like blueberries to me, which is why I let the boys eat the ones they picked off the bush. We've got LOADS of them... at least 3/4 of an acre is covered in these bushes. But I think it'd take forever to gather enough for any edible amount. LOL

Oooh thanks :D ... wait, when are they ripe? LOL

I've found LOADS of them where we plan to put the goats in the spring... but they're teeny tiny... What can I do with them? LOL

Updated photo... How much larger do they get and when do we harvest them? I can't remember if anyone mentioned that previously. They're weighing the poor tree down and have almost knocked me out from falling on me.

Here's an updated photo of what the fruits look like. Are we still set on choke cherry? And what the heck do I do with all of them now? I've got at least a dozen... or more here...

Here is an updated picture of the berries growing on this plant... Are they infact dewberries? Sorry for the crumby shot.

Wanted to add an updated picture... It's most definitely a crab apple... Now wth do I do with it? :lol:

Wanted to post an updated picture... Any ideas as to what it is now?

Oooh great idea :) I can't wait to see all the pretty veggies! :lol:

I'd rather not. I'll just chalk it up as a loss. No point in arguing shipping. I'll just go jack some of my father's bushes. They're massive. :lol:

Thanks Pat. I figured they were dead. I can't believe I wasted $10 shipping for these :rolleyes: Live and learn.
