I met Mr Peter Wolfe on my Sunday ride. His ranch is on the west end of Concord Ave in Btentwood, CA USA. Its a smaller ranch devoid of the huge out of towner crowds I sampled a few with my bike in hand. I drove back with a bucket. The trees are short and a small step stool works well to reach the taller branches.
These are Corals which ripen in early May. Other varieties in Brentwood are Reinier, Brooks, and Bing.
U Pick cherries costs $4/lb.
About a kilometer away I found this street: Yes the owner of the house is a vet who was a tank destroyer in the Gulf War.
Bing (get it?) a cherry destroyer myself even on a Reinier day. I can pick more than 10 pound per hour. trick is to jump and not climb the ladder often. May rains did not affect the yummy flavor.
Pre-pick cherries are $5/lb so I have found a new summer jo I am saving up a Tahitian bungalow.
