The first crop of Sprite and Delight cherry plums are finished. I found it difficult telling when to pick them. They ripen over a period of several weeks so while some are not ripe others are shriveling up. The Delight skin was less tart then the Sprite but the flavor was not as good. Next year will determine whether they stay or get removed.

They sure don't sound promising!

I had similar problems with Sprite: splitting and then not knowing when they were ripe. The birds took all the later ones so I never tasted a fully ripe fruit before I took the tree out.
