Green Grape and Black Cherry - color when ripe?

Fert1 · July 6, 2006

My Green Grape and Black Cherry plants are finally ripening up some fruit for me. I just wondered what color they should be when ripe, as in do they still have green shoulders?

I know some say go by feel more than color, but with cherries, some stay firmer than others. I'd like to at least know when I'm in the ballpark colorwise. At least with cherries if you mess up, there are lots more to practice with, but I still hate to waste any. I've heard Green Grape needs to be fully ripe to have the best flavor.
