Hi everyone, it's Ross and in today's video I want to talk to you guys about bush cherries. This is a type of cherry that is a perunus. It's related to your standard Bing type cherry, but it's not quite. They grow in different habits. You can see they're more of a bush. That's why they call them bush cherries. They have a lot less issues in terms of disease, growth problems. They're just longer lived plants. They're very easy to propagate. They sucker very easily even though this one here hasn't. You can see they branch out quite nicely down low. Overall they're just very easy things to grow. Another nice source of food. Let's just taste them because I haven't really gotten the greatest taste evaluation on these yet. You can see that these berries actually look pretty damn close to perfect. It's interesting with the net is that it really helps protect these. It was very easy to net the birds didn't get to this at all. Whereas some other perunuses, the Bing type cherries I have because they're not as compact because they're not as bush-like, they're more difficult to protect. So let me show you guys now with this taste like here. It's quite dark red. It's a little soft. There is a pit. Of course. That's been the big issue with these is that the pit to the flesh ratio has never really been that great. And a lot of pitters that you have just kind of struggle with that. You need to have maybe even specialized equipment to really pit a lot of these. But for me the flavor was not that bad. That was quite good. I would say that's probably a six at a 10 compared to other fruits. So I would say probably a blueberry and a raspberry and blackberries or seven. That's right under those. I would say a sweet Bing type cherry is also a seven. So for me that's just under those. That's not bad. That's right along lines of a goomey. Actually, I think a goomey is more of a seven, probably even better than that. But for me the flavor is not that impressive. I'm going to be honest. Maybe I should try a few more here. It's just, it tastes a lot like your standard pie type sour cherry that you would get. I think these would make obviously great juice, jams, jellies, pies. Yeah, I'm just not picking up a whole lot of flavor. And it's just a tart, interesting berry flavor. But you know, it's not the greatest fruit. This is car mine jewel here. This is Romeo or Juliet. I have the tag down here somewhere. But neither Romeo or Juliet really fruited all that well. You can see the berries in here. Oh, I'm not really technically berries are there. But let's show you guys the other bush. They just grow. What I do like about them is they grow nicely. You know, they're very easy to maintain. As I've said guys, but let me just show you guys the last one here. And that'll be it. We have a nice net on this one here. But the berries don't look to be really all that large. We take some off here for you guys. These look like they've almost dried on the plant. Or didn't even really form correctly. Let's try it. Yeah. That's really not that good. So anyway guys, I want to thank you guys for watching this one. Yeah, I can't eat that. But that was bush cherries for you guys. So for those of you guys who are interested in growing that, I think that's honestly a pretty decent representation of what to expect. Cherries I'm just not into you guys. The big type cherries get them at the store and they taste pretty much the same as what you can grow at home. So for me, that's just a nice little reliable food source. It's easy to grow. In fact, I think I'd rather grow the sour cherries ahead of the big type cherries. But to be honest, both I probably wouldn't grow. Just being honest. So in the future, I probably am going to get rid of these things or not grow them. All right guys, take care. It was so nice to be able to review this with you guys. I'm really disappointed honestly. I was hoping for more. But anyway. That's it. We'll see you for tomorrow's video guys. Take care. I'll catch you.
