🔍 When is it ripe?
Blackberry: Fully black (not red or dark red) and comes off the stem with no resistance — zero pull. Dull rather than shiny; a shiny black berry is still slightly underripe and tart. Eat the same day for best flavour.
Cherry plum: Turns red, yellow, or purple depending on variety; flesh gives slightly under thumb pressure. Taste-test — ripe ones are sweet-tart with little astringency. Drops easily from stem when gently twisted.
Red raspberry: Bright red and detaches from the core plug with no resistance. Fragrant and very soft when ripe. Autumn-fruiting varieties produce a second flush in September–October.
Small cherry plums aren't far from the very front of the park's trail entrance on Glisan St. Walk around first and second large groups of trees. Plums tiny as cherries. It will help to know what kind of trees, vines, leaves, and even stems look like before you go into park because I didn't document exact locations. Blackberries everywhere on trail, Raspberries plants over 4ft tall have green large wide leaves.
