Surprised they would harvest sour cherries that way since they are even more fragile than regular cherries, but I suppose if they’re being turned into pie filling right away it wouldn’t matter so much.

A bit over $6 US a pound, I think. Probably pretty good for SIN.

They were decent enough , though have had sweeter ones here before .

Price was “ reasonable “ as our friend bought it from a friend who imports the cherries .
Costs more at supermarkets , in punnets .. possibly less from the markets .

We shall see if we will get any from Europe this year .

There are black cherries growing all over the place here. They’re so small they must be 90% pit. But they’re free.
