Cherries, like peaches, continue to increase in size until they are ripe. They should be picked when they are of maximum size and full-flavored. Cherries picked before they are fully mature will not ripen off the tree.
Sweet cherries become firm when ripe, and sour cherries part easily from the stem. Look for heavy, firm cherries with a shiny skin and fresh stem.
Cherries that are to be shipped will keep longer if the stems are left attached. They will store in the refrigerator for two to three days.
For immediate use, they can be picked with or without the stems.
